May such a scanty number of hypocrites and misleading people be allowed to defend this criminality? or drive fallacious excuses to their abominable crimes? Great God speaks the truth in his Holy Book saying, Then who is worse transgressor that that who fabricates lies against God? We are not frightened by terrorism and its astray remnants. It is high time we put this phenomenon in its real size without exaggeration or magnification and without negligence or undervaluation because this objective evaluation which adheres to facts is a prerequisite for the success of confrontation I can say most frankly that there is nothing about this phenomenon today that leads to apprehension or fear about the future of the nation so long as the entire nation is lined up on one coherent row with perfect consciousness confronting the astray scant number of people that lack any public support The people condemn their actions and horrible crimes after they have discover their role in attacking the interests of the country carrying out sinful conspiracies that are aiming at hampering Egypts upsurge and foiling the chances of its progress This noble people of Egypt will not allow a hired scanty number of people to waste its efforts and hopes of establishing a free democratic society whose ability is increasing day after day to meet the aspirations of its sons

I strongly believe that this is a temporary phenomenon that must come to an end I dont say this out of vacuum but I say this relying on the considerable successes achieved by the great people of Egypt that confronts sedition after it has realized its dangers and deprivations Its conscious vanguards and institutions stood up to face the danger, warning, cautioning and enlightening then the concerned state bodies traced the heads of conspiracy and foiled their plot with perfect determination and resolution and they were able thanks to the support and awareness of the people to maintain initiation in confronting these criminal activities after the fall of the sham masks behind which they were hiding The security forces will not have rest, or linger in confronting this malignant malady. Whatever the gravity of challenges and dangers, the wagons of Egyptian nationalism will forge ahead declaring in an echoing voice: We sacrifice ourselves for you, Egypt with Gods blessing and guidance advancement of the nation You were as good as the public has trusted you. We are more concerned than anyone to establish justice nomination candidates constituencies a record number the high turn-out of the electorate proponent, opponent and independent in order to choose the best and the most representing of the interests and the aspirations of Egypt no matter his party affiliation for reforming our party courses that the parties would be more adherent to the masses the objectives sought out from them Democracy can never flourish or grow

without a responsible national opposition despite their differences / despite the difference in their viewpoints We believe more than any one in the role of the society in order to reach a common denominator to guarantee the continuity in the framework of sound parliamentary traditions that preserve the right of opposition to state their opinion tackling problems in a scientific and objective manner overlooking the necessities of the reality going after individual or sectoral interests The masses have awarded you their confidence the adequacy of legislation for the conditions and requirements of the actual reality levelling with the trust of the people without bias towards narrow sectoral interests that infringe on public interests delivering resonant speeches It is no more sufficient There are essentialities that make it incumbent upon us to bring charges falsely against everyone creates a provocative climate that reeks of lethal venoms It doesnt match up with nationalism that the voices of some people become echoes of external powers that out-speak animosity against Egypt when a party deviates from the general trend taking advantage of the climate of freedom the vicious word that comes from a malicious person disregarding the interests of the nation We are not against but we stand against those who to hamper its progress fostered relations to block all resources of terrorism thanks be to God valiant policemen to strike at these criminal plots eradicating terrorism deepening its path and seeking new open
