Coalition to support the Egyptian state to take shape in absence of FEP
Mohamed Sameh Published in Albawaba on 08 - 12 - 2015

A state of concern dominated the Egyptian political arena before the formation of a parliamentary coalition loyal to Egypt's President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi, Al Hayat News reported on Tuesday.
Many experts believe that such a coalition will repeat the governmental domination of the parliamentary life like what was happening during Mubarak's regime.
It is expected that the official announcement of the alliance, which will take place at the end of next week, will carry the name: ‘coalition to support the Egyptian state'. It will be dominated by independent MPs, in addition to state-loyal Mostaqbal Watan (Nation's Future) and Al Wafd parties.
But, Free Egyptians Party (FEP), which won the largest share of parliamentary seats, is unlikely to join the coalition, after its leaders criticized to those in charge of the coalition for aiming to dominate the parliament.
Additionally, spokesman for the party, Shehab Wageh vowed Monday in a press conference that his party will be very influential bloc in parliament.
Wageh confirmed that the party will not be satisfied with being the majority party, but will have a significant impact in achieving the promises made to their voters, such as defeating poverty.
Meanwhile, prominent leader within the coalition, Mustafa Bakri defended the new entity, denying the accusations of aiming to dominate the parliament.
Bakri said in a statement to Al Hayat that this is a national coalition based on a consensus between those involved in it and share common ground.
He explained that the coalition seeks to protect the state in the face of difficult situations and conditions, as well as express the interest of the people, stressing that this does not eliminate the possibility of each party having its parliamentary entity.
On the other hand, the coalition is expected to amend the constitution, which was criticized by Al Sisi, who said that it was written in good faith and states are not managed by good faith. However, the coalition founder, Sameh Seif Al Yazal stressed that the matter of amending it is currently postponed.
