Leitner burned votes and boasts: "The fear barrier has been broken, this is our victory"

Chairman of the Haredi Public Party, Moti Leitner, responded to television exit polls showing his party far from the electoral threshold, saying that "the fear barrier has been broken" and that the evening is "our victory."

Chairman of the Haredi Public Party, Moti Leitner, responded last night (Tuesday) to the results of television channel exit polls showing his party far from the electoral threshold. Leitner said that this is the beginning of a long political path, and that "the fear barrier has been broken. A spark of hope has been ignited. This evening is our victory." According to him, his party faced delegitimization that included threats, forgeries, and curses, and added: "This election campaign will be remembered as historic for us Haredim. We stand as a solid wall for ours, for our children." The headline claims that Leitner 'burned votes,' but the body does not present a numerical figure of votes or percentages that were burned.
