Dr. Hossam Badrawy attends a cultural salon under the title “The Egypt in My Mind”

At the invitation of Dr. Hisham El-Gayar and in the presence of a number of distinguished figures, Dr. Hossam Badrawy attended today, Monday, February 26, 2023, in the L’Etoile Hall at the Air Force House, a cultural salon under the title “The Egypt on My Mind.”
The audience warmly welcomed Dr. Hossam Badrawy
They asked many questions about various issues that concern public opinion.
Dr. Badrawi welcomed the audience and answered the questions, but he emphasized that any change does not occur with good intentions, but with a declared vision, efficient state management, and sustainability in implementation.
Regarding corruption, Dr. said: sword:
Corruption spreads if it continues for a period that allows it to benefit from it, which makes getting rid of it more difficult
In order for us to eliminate corruption, we must identify its causes and identify its causes, most of which come from inefficient administrative systems, lack of salaries, and the filling of state agencies with unnecessary employees.
He said that fighting corruption requires measuring indicators
Note that corruption is an impression and not a physical act, so it then becomes a crime subject to the authority of the law
The current situation requires reconsidering all state priorities
Raising the ceiling of freedoms to accommodate all opinions and promote pluralism and differences of opinion.
Dr. Badrawi spoke about the Eradah initiative, which he started with the Egyptian National Competitiveness Council in 2008. The goal was to remove 50% of the obstacles in the various ministries in a specific time. This initiative was unfortunately not sustainable and stopped after 2011.
Then the dialogue moved to education as the most important supporter and enhancer of the state’s internal strength, which represents the striking force in the development of society.
He added that Egypt’s vision for education still suffers from the lack of effective steps to implement it
Dr. Badrawi then gave a detailed presentation of Egypt’s vision and how it must be marketed properly, and the reasons for its lack of progress. He stated that each governorate can easily determine its needs in the future and what it needs, and this is the essence of decentralization stipulated in the constitution.
He stressed that education aims to build character, and character building does not depend on a curriculum, but on living with the basis of education, which is the teacher and the school administration.
Dr. pointed out. Hossam said that the task of building personality is not carried out by the Ministry of Education alone, but it must be accompanied by the Ministry of Youth, Information and Culture. The goal between them is common and they must be integrated to serve one file, which is building personality.
Dr. Badrawi then spoke about Egypt’s wealth
The state possesses all the ingredients to be a great state.
Then he talked about his article published in Al-Masry Al-Youm, “Too much is a deficiency,” and stated that exaggerating matters may diminish their effectiveness and care.
Then Dr. Badrawi continued his talk on the topic of the symposium, “The Egypt in My Mind,” to conclude his interesting speech by saying that the Egypt in his mind is a great country and the Egyptian nation has its components, and he expressed his dream and vision.
For the people of Egypt to see the future as happy and friendly…and to see our children and youth being innovative and creative with freedom, and the people of Egypt living spread across its geography, perpetuating its deserts, preserving its heritage…
And the end of poverty, in wealth and in thought, and the re-flourishment of art. He expressed his hope that music would return to clean streets, that tourism would flourish, and that Egypt would be integrated with Africa and the world… and that Egypt’s youth would have hope, aspire to happiness, use modern technologies and be clothed with the values of freedom. Honesty, honesty, integrity, accuracy, competence, tolerance, and citizenship, adhering to truth, beauty, and respect for others who are different.
He wondered if it could be achieved!!! He stated that what we need is greater efficiency in managing the state, efficiency that must not be compromised, choosing for the best, periodically renewing bloodshed, respect for science and scholars, and raising the ceiling of dreams.
The meeting ended with joy and happiness for the attendees and an exchange of souvenir photos

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
