Egypt's deputy Prime Minister Yehia El Gamal
The National Consensus conference today slammed businessmen affiliated with the old regime of offering bribes to citizens to join their new political parties.
Many new political parties in Egypt are now working hard to meet the regulations set by the new parties law approved in March, which stipulates that each party should have at least 5,000 registered members.
The conference’s Armed Forces Committee also warned that new weak political parties controlled by businessmen and remnants of the old regime will emerge. These will try to manipulate any form of democratic space created by the January 25 Revolution in order to gain power, they said.
The National Consensus is a conference led by the deputy prime minister, Yeyha El-Gamal, to discuss Egypt's interim period with political analysts, leaders and other interested parties.
