Significant portions of Cildanian Yeudi population will boycott any early elections
Rav Pisani cries foul on Għażla tal-Poplu as government collapses; no parties represent a safe haven for Cildanian Yeudis

Qart Qildar: As the Prime Minister assesses damage in the wake of the resignation of the ministers of Defence and Science and Technology, Cildania's most outspoken Yeudi leaders have urged their congregations to boycott any early elections should they come to pass.

Nunzio Piscopo and Sebastjan Pellicano of the Għażla tal-Poplu resigned from government, leaving Mr. Guiliano Alagona to pick up the pieces of a shattered coalition and making the likelihood of a vote of no confidence in the remainder of the government almost a surety.

Rabbi Danjel Pisani of Torah V’Avodah in Qart Qildar told Il-Ġurnal that he had urged his congregation to boycott any early election, and to urge other Cildanian Yeudis to do the same.

"It is clearer and clearer," he told us, "that no matter the outcome of an early election, Cildanian Yeudis will be punished for the failings of Cildanian society as a whole. We cannot participate in such a farce. Indeed, Bandiera Waħda has thrown fuel on the flames of a fire which already consumes Yeudis across the nation, and even Għażla tal-Poplu, which we had erstwhile considered no threat to our existence, now speaks of Cildanian Yeudis in antiyeudish terms - calling us 'sneaky', 'stealthy', and accusing us of involvement in some Beiteynese plot to exploit Cildania. Any election will lead to bloodshed - we cannot safely take part."

Rabbi Ġakobb Hosegħa of Shaarei Shomayim, for his part, called upon the international community to dispatch election observers "with great haste" and to do what they are able to help ensure Cildanian Yeudi security, but stopped shy of calling for outright boycott.

Il-Ġurnal is a broadsheet daily newspaper in Cildania, owned by the Magro Family. The newspaper has a 'moderate' editorial bent.
