שרשר המלך גרף 1,500 קולות: ״אני רוצה להוריד את יוקר המחייה ב-50%״
Wearing a crown and layers of gold-colored chains, the candidate known as Sharshar the king receives a reporter from a throne-like chair. His platform is about everyday expenses: cheaper living, cheaper travel and free parking.
Israel's Channel 13 News reports that Sharshar received about 1,500 votes in the election. In its brief interview, he describes himself as a philanthropist who loves all Israeli citizens, then says he wants to cut the cost of living in half.
His transport promises are specific: train and bus journeys would cost five shekels, and speed cameras would disappear from the country's roads.
He finishes with parking, promising to remove blue-and-white curb markings in favor of white alone. Blue-and-white markings generally indicate regulated parking in Israel, often requiring payment. His proposed change is presented as a way to make parking free.
The Short drew roughly 180,000 views since yesterday. Its final image of Sharshar's platform is a simple color instruction: no more blue and white, only white.
