A new coalition of Egyptian political parties has publicly criticized the country's current government for persecuting politicians.
The Free Current coalition was formed in June this year, comprised of an array of mostly liberal opposition parties and figures.
“We need a new president, a new government, and a new parliament,” said Akmal Qortam, chairman of the Conservative Party and a member of the Free Current Movement who was also at the news conference. Egypt is also in the midst of an economic crisis, beset by price hikes and a depreciating currency. In July inflation was at a record high of 38.2%, according to data released by the state-run Central Agency for Mobilization and Statistics. Economists have been critical el-Sissi’s management of Egypt’s economy.
In recent years Egypt has sought to improve its international image. El-Sissi’s government has tried to launch what it called a “national dialogue” with well-known figures from society, although few known dissenters participated.
