From Makalati by Hany Aziz

In the beginning, I would like to announce my appreciation for the leadership and members of the National Democratic Party, who are working to build a better future for our youth and our children. I am also pleased to mention here the opinion of His Holiness Pope Shenouda III, on the National Democratic Party, where His Holiness said that it is the only party that provided and still provides a valuable service to the Egyptian people. I also thank the great author, Mr. Osama Saraya for his article in Al Ahram newspaper, in which he explained the positive aspects of the work of the National Party and its activities.

In fact, many of the political parties in Egypt, trying to catch up with the many achievements by the National Democratic Party, headed by President Mohamed Hosni Mubarak with the wisdom and skill, but it is the majority party and that I am privileged to be a member of the Secretariat of External Relations Commissioner. But today, four years after the launch of the program of the Party in its presidential election year in 2005, declaring the party’s accomplishments, which responds to all opponents and critics, as the party achieved more than 80 percent of its platform, including providing 30 percent additional increases in the wages of employees and a budget up to an additional 15 billion pounds to face the global economic crisis affecting the world today, the Party is also preparing to claim the ten other billion from the People’s Assembly to complement the achievements and projects that flow in order to serve the citizens and especially those of the ordinary, poorest people in the areas of water, housing and sanitation.

Here I would like to refer to the role of Gamal Mubarak, Secretary of the NDP Policies Committee, who works quietly and silently passing through all the obstacles and criticisms that have arisen around him, trying to move towards completion of the projects carried out by the party and, for example, the fight against poverty in 1000 Egyptian villages, a project aiming to reach out to the most needy citizens, especially in light of the economic crisis that swept the whole world as Mr. Gamal Mubarak introduced 12 subjects to cover all aspects that benefit the country and citizens, expressing the views of fans through conferences and continuing discussions between the leaderships and cadres to achieve plans that include the current situation and issues of the future in our beloved Egypt.

I know very well that there are some critics who always seek to deny the role of the National Party and try to publish some altercations to take some light, but the party and all its members are working hard to achieve real growth of the community building.

I remember my recent intervention with the media and TV Presenter Amr Adib on his distinguished and successful (Cairo Today) program, in which he allowed opposing opinions regarding the role of the National Party in Egypt, and there were dissenting opinions, and I was compelled to join in the dialogue where I stated the achievements of the party, but I blamed the party for the non-announcement of these achievements so that everyone knows what the party and its members provide services to the community and in particular the towns and villages in Upper Egypt that were previously marginalized.

Dear readers … let me give my regards to all who work in the service of our beloved country “Egypt” in various fields in order to present a better and happier future.
