Dr. Badrawi co-founded the Political Parties Club with 3 parties

The founding statement of the Civil Democratic Party Club:

Realizing and believing in the undersigned assembled parties of the need to expedite laying the foundations necessary to transform into a modern civil state whose main pillars are pluralist democracy and good constitutional governance, and what this entails in empowering the unmade real parties, whose absence led to the absence of political thought in the management of the state, which prevented between Egypt and between catching up with the current of contemporary, and withholding it from modernity and withholding modernity from it, leaving it for decades to live in its increasing crises.
For all this, the undersigned parties have agreed to establish the “Civil Democratic Parties Club” (CDP), whose mission is to work to achieve the following basic goals:
1- Strengthening pluralistic party life and working on empowering parties as the only means of activating the constitution and achieving political democracy.
2- Confronting any reactionary attempts aimed at acquisition, exclusion, or fraud, and returning to the dominant party system made of state institutions.
3- Working on making democracy a way of life, respecting the constitution as an instinctive thing for citizens and national institutions, and encouraging freedom of expression and criticism.
4- Preserving the constitution and consolidating its supreme values ​​in the hearts of citizens, strengthening the values ​​of democracy and developing them to become a way of life for citizens and a basis and philosophy for the management systems of national institutions, emphasizing freedom of opinion and belief and the right to organize peaceful meetings and demonstrations.
5- Creating a cultural and societal movement to develop the society’s moral, economic and human values ​​to create an informed public opinion capable of protecting, monitoring and influencing state institutions.
The founding parties “in their political diversity” pledge to try, through this club, to reach a comprehensive vision of the reform and development process through dialogue between the parties that are members of the club and between them and all the active political and party forces and between them and the relevant state institutions.

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
