In the heart of New York, the city that does not sleep, the rhythm of politics changes .. It is not just a new name that shines in the scene, but rather a voice that disturbs traditions, and breaks the monopoly of elites.
Zahran Mamdani, a Muslim young man with migrant roots, steals his way steadily towards the position of mayor’s most important position in the most hiding and complicated city in America.
At the age of 33, Zahran, Mamdani, passed the first obstacle on his way towards the most powerful position in New York City, won the preliminary elections of the Democratic Party, beating former ruler Andrew Como, the man who was seen as an inaccurate candidate.
With a difference of 7%, Mamdani said in front of a crowd of his supporters: “We have made date tonight … and I will be your democratic candidate for the position of mayor of New York City.”
Who is Zahran Mamdani?
The son of an Indian parents, born in Uganda, and immigrated to New York as a small, is considered one of the most prominent socialist democratic voices in the party.
Mamdani does not represent mere political ambition, but rather a social movement .. His election campaign promised free buses, preventing increased rents, and the role of a nursery supported, in a city that has become not possible to live for the poor.
But this ascension is not happy .. According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, his candidacy raises “the panic of the pro -Israel institution”, which accuses him of “anti -Semitism”, only because he calls for equality between the Palestinians and the Israelis, and describes the Gaza war as genocide.
