This balance is evident in his broad horizons and encyclopedic knowledge, to the point that I call him Mustafa Al-Fikr:

Dr. Mustafa is an avid reader and an encyclopedic intellectual, combining literature, history, and political thought.
• He has the ability to analyze complex issues in a clear manner that combines depth and simplicity.
• His diplomatic personality, which he acquired through his work in foreign policy and the presidential secretariat, shows his flexibility and ability to dialogue with different spectrums.
• He is known for his ability to bring viewpoints closer together and resolve differences wisely and calmly.
3. Moderation and openness:
• Dr. Mustafa is distinguished by his moderate positions that call for dialogue and openness, whether at the local or international level.
• He believes that solutions come from cooperation and mutual understanding, not from conflict or tension.
4. Loyalty to the homeland:
• Despite his preoccupation with intellectual and cultural issues, his primary interest remains serving Egypt and contributing to its progress.
• He balances between his role as an intellectual and thinker and his role as a patriot who seeks to achieve the public interest.
Dr. Mustafa has the ability to keep up with global and local political and cultural transformations, which makes him always present and inspiring in intellectual discussions.

In short, the key to Mustafa El-Feki’s personality is the ability to combine rationality and humanity, thought and action, and past and present, which makes him a symbol of enlightened reason and practical wisdom.

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
