Dr. Hossam Badrawi’s speech before the opening session of the National Dialogue, and we enclose for you part of his speech:
For the success of any dialogue, there must be agreement on its previous determinants, and setting a framework within which we talk, which took time from the Board of Trustees of the dialogue in preparation, and our presence here represents an agreement on most of them. We thank them and congratulate them for that.
My suggestion was, and still is, that the framework for dialogue be the constitution and Egypt’s Vision 2030 announced by the President of the Republic in 2015.. and hundreds of experts and researchers worked for it, which reviewed all previous visions and involved the community in a respectful dialogue to reach a semi-integrated formulation of Egypt’s Vision 2030. I was commissioned by The Secretariat of the Dialogue presents this updated vision, and I was one of its makers in 2014, in front of the participants in the dialogue to be a framework for dialogue around it and in the hope of renewing it to Vision 2050
And I did my duty to meet with the Minister of Planning and the group of respected researchers who work with her and who formulated the vision with its capabilities professionally, and I personally met with the Ministers of Education, Higher Education and Scientific Research in a more extensive dialogue about the vision of the future of education and getting acquainted with the strategies of the two ministries to implement it, before collecting all the papers of the multiple vision in health And the population, and in the governance of the country’s administration and the preservation of the environment, and in the economy and civil society, and that is with the mentality of the politician and the developer.
I believe that the national dialogue is a political dialogue of the first order, and I have taken it upon myself to document a political vision for the future of the country in order to discuss it within the political file, taking into account commitment to the philosophy of the constitution because it is the document and reference that must govern our dialogue.
“We are now writing a constitution that completes the building of a modern democratic state, with a civil government.” and freedoms, as set forth in the Constitution.
This is the preamble to the constitution and Article Five of it, which was approved by the Egyptian people by an overwhelming majority in 2014. Amendments in 2019 were not attached to this introduction nor Article Five.
There are articles in the constitution that we must preserve, and articles that have not been implemented, and there must be reasons for that. I think that the members of the dialogue should discuss them, and we must put them in the framework of implementation, such as decentralization, and most of what is related to the separation of powers and the balance between them, and the method of applying justice and respecting freedoms.
So the basis is to build a modern, democratic, civil state, which, by definition, has a government that preserves and protects all members of society, regardless of their national, religious, or intellectual affiliations, and protects privacy and freedom of expression.
