An interview with the chairman of the Economic Party, Prof. Yaron Zalika, on the program 'The Patriots' on Channel 14 turned within minutes into a loud and sharp confrontation. The dispute revolved around the cost of living, the state of the economy, and Netanyahu's policies. Host Yinon Magal presented positive macroeconomic data on the shekel, exports, unemployment, wages, and inflation. Zalika sharply attacked: 'You use this power to fool them,' arguing that the data do not reflect the daily reality of the citizen at the supermarket, the bank, and mortgage payments. Later, the tone escalated further, and Zalika told Magal 'Don't lecture me.' The article presents Zalika's positions, which include eliminating tariffs, limiting monopolies, and dismantling exclusive arrangements of importers.
