Hossam Badrawi to Al-Horreya: Macron’s Visit to Egypt Carries Humanitarian and Cultural Dimensions Beyond Official Protocol
Dr. Hossam Badrawi, politician and intellectual, commented on French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Egypt, affirming that the visit carries deep symbolic dimensions that go beyond official protocol, reflecting the strength of human and cultural relations between the two peoples.
In exclusive statements to Al-Horreya, Badrawi noted that the French president’s schedule was packed — from official meetings with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, to a trilateral meeting with King Abdullah, discussions with businessmen and French companies, a visit to Cairo University and the French Institute, and finally, a meeting with artists and cultural figures.
Badrawi said:
“There were certainly political aspects to the discussions, and I believe and hope that there was a dialogue around the possibility of reintroducing the idea of establishing a Palestinian state — and undoubtedly, ending the genocide against the Palestinian people.”
He added:
“Macron’s visit to Egypt was not only political in nature; it also expressed a respect for Egypt’s civilization and culture, which was clearly reflected in his visit to Khan El-Khalili, where he walked casually among the people, showing an awareness of Egypt’s true spirit — one that pulses with life and history.”
Badrawi emphasized that Macron’s visit to Arish was laden with humanitarian and solidarity connotations at a sensitive time, sending a message of support to the steadfast people of Sinai. He stressed that Sinai is not just a geographical location, but a symbol of the struggle between light and darkness, and of the will of the people in the face of challenges.
In conclusion, Badrawi described Macron’s visit as more than just an official state visit — it was also an expression of the French president’s humanity, his appreciation of deep history, and the spirit of nations. He considered this visit a moment that restores some of the humanity that politics has lost.
