Mark Grossman - separation of powers

Our group will talk about solutions to prevent public corruption, and they
Separation of authorities which is not good enough today, increased penalties for corruption of public figures
and treatment of capital-government relations

Yossi and Mark will talk about capital-rule and punishment, I will talk about separation of powers.
Why is she not good enough? Because it can lead to public corruption. We talked extensively today about the fact that the judicial branch is separate, but the legislative and executive branches are the same people who sit in both the Knesset and the government. Thus it turns out that the executive authority controls the Knesset.
The result is political interests, which are not corrupted in principle, not even in the 99% of the act, but when it comes to the execution the political interests should be neutralized. Professional decisions should be neutralized from politics.
These should be people who are experts in their field - for example, the Minister of Security should be a security person, and the Minister of Finance should express the Treasury's position.

Mark Glass - the worsening of punishments

Mark Grossman talked about the separation of powers, and I will talk about toughening penalties to achieve a cleaner government. I will present some arguments to prove that increased penalties are necessary.

The first is that in Israel there is a thing called disgrace - a person who commits a crime serves the prison term but then cannot engage in political activities. I think it's a mistake because he should be removed permanently. If he committed an offense in his position, it means that he can no longer be trusted.
The second thing is more weight to public opinion - for example Olmert was in power for a long time even though he was under investigation and public opinion was completely neglected. This is an abnormal situation that harms the functioning of the government and causes damage to the country, which means that it is a situation that needs to be preceded and promoted in order to prevent this situation.

In conclusion, I remind you that in recent years we have had a succession of people like Itzik Mordechai Katsav and Haim Ramon on the one hand, and Nizari and Lieberman on the other, and therefore it is requested that the punishments be increased.

Yossi Gil - summary

We are engaged in the prevention of public corruption and we have put forward several proposals - separation of authorities, harsher punishment, and now we will talk about the relationship between capital and government.
Mark before spoke about the separation of authorities with a sort of 'business model' for the government, which would be a sort of board of directors for the government offices. So that every office will have a manager with a term of office as long as it leads to success. Let there not be a situation that every time a minister changes, we start a new way.

Regarding capital and government, this is a governmental public body. In fact to nationalize and reduce the means of communication.
Cut off those with vested interests and money from controlling public opinion and mass media such as newspapers

Dealing with capital-government relations in the field of franchising

As in many other fields, also in the world of franchising there are capital-government relations which can be fertile ground for corruption and hidden interests. Franchises often have to deal with pressure from capitalists and government officials. In such situations, it is important for the franchisee to have professional legal support from a lawyer specializing in franchising. This lawyer will ensure that the franchisee operates within the framework of the contract in a way that protects its rights, and will prevent cases where franchisees fall into legal traps resulting from ambiguous capital-government relations. . And this is from the aspect of the media body because I think their control over public opinion causes a lack of freedom of the press and this is something that prevents the public from knowing the real things. Yossi Sherid was wise enough to say that the public is sold the reality shows like Hipa and Hanon to distract them from the country's problems.

Entering into a franchise agreement is a complex operation that must be carefully examined, especially when it comes to franchises that deal with public services or products that serve the general public. As in any economic field that involves capital-government relations, here too special attention is required to the relations between the franchisee and the qualifying body. One of the main tools that can help identify risks and protect franchise rights is the support of a lawyer specializing in franchising.

Franchise lawyer will ensure that the contract signed between the parties will comply with the strictest legal standards, and will allow the franchisee to operate within a clear and defined framework. Beyond that, the lawyer will ensure that the franchisee does not fall victim to the structures of possible corruption, which may arise from existing capital-government relations between the qualifying company and various governmental entities. Not infrequently, situations arise in which the interests of the qualifying company conflict with those of the franchisee, hence the great importance of legal control mechanisms that can protect franchisees from the abuse of economic or political power. In addition, a franchise lawyer will be able to guide the franchisee even in situations of disputes relating to the enforcement of the franchise agreement or in situations of renewal of an agreement after a period. The legal understanding will help the franchisee to avoid pitfalls that may harm its business activity, and to ensure that every action is documented and protected by law.

I would like to summarize the words of the group - punishment will create a deterrent, when people know that they will go to prison, and know that justice is given and not gifted, and when the executioners are empowered
