An important interview with Dr. Hossam Badrawi on BBC Arabic

An important interview with Dr. Hossam Badrawi on BBC Arabic:
In a reading of the presidential election scene in Egypt, Dr. Hossam Badrawi says that political parties either have a parliamentary majority and rule, or they are opposition parties, and that the so-called loyalist parties must join the ruling party.
This is if Egypt has a ruling party at all.
– He says that the ruling party, while respecting its personalities, is a party that represents the executive authority, and does not form the government, but rather is under its will.
Dr. Hossam says that any citizen has the right to nominate himself, and that he rejected the constitutional amendment to allow a third term for any president because the goal is the transfer of power, which is the value and positive result that may be the only result of the January Revolution.
If the amendment was approved by the people, they respect it.
– Dr. confirms. Hossam does not have the right to ask President Sisi not to run for office, but his point of view is that if he does not, he will enter history.
– Dr. said. Hossam said that the political situation is very complicated because there are no alternatives before the people and no real choices except for the matter to remain as it is, and since all the strings are in the hands of the president now to lead a change in the situation in a way that allows for the existence of alternatives, his responsibility is very great.
-Dr. said. Hossam said that any civilian president must agree with the military establishment first, otherwise he will not be able to rule in light of the current regional conditions.
-Dr. said. Hossam said that alternating power is the only way to prevent dictatorial rule and the spread of corruption. This is not an accusation against anyone, but rather the experience of history and the reality of politics in the entire world.
-Dr. said. Hossam also said that he respects the candidate Ahmed Al-Tantawi for his insistence, but he represents a left-wing Nasserist movement that contradicts Dr. Hossam, the social liberal politician

 

About Dr. Hossam Badrawi

Dr. Hossam Badrawi
He is a politician, intellect, and prominent physician. He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend. He considered deposed president Mohamed Morsi's decision to bring back the People's Assembly as a reinforcement of the US-supported dictatorship. He was among the first to denounce the incursion of Morsi's authority over the judicial authority, condemning the Brotherhood militias' blockade of the Supreme Constitutional Court. Dr. Hossam supported the Tamarod movement in its beginning and he declared that toppling the Brotherhood was a must and a pressing risk that had to be taken few months prior to the June 30 revolution and confirmed that the army would support the legitimacy given by the people
