Full English Translation
Mr. Hindi Samaka Abu Laban, head of the "Egypt Crown of the Galaxy" Party, has announced that Mr. Awwad Al-Huwait, the party's new vice-president and head of its parliamentary bloc in the House of Representatives, has presented many ideas and proposals to develop and activate the party's role in political life, parliamentary work, and serving citizens, and to prepare for elections. He described them as "enlightened ideas and effective, brilliant proposals – as he has always given us throughout his long and honourable history, always coming from outside the box and in the vanguard."
He said that the party has already begun implementing one of these brilliant ideas that may turn our stagnant political life upside down and throw a huge stone into its stagnant pond. The idea is summarised in providing a large number of magnifying glasses or "magnifying spectacles," as they say, flat mirrors, and sturdy leather belts – and presenting a set of these three items, in the party's name, to all officials, starting with the President of the Republic, the Prime Minister, ministers, governors, members of Parliament, heads of major and sovereign bodies, major businessmen, and others.
Abu Laban said that Al-Huwait's purpose and philosophy behind this is that the official who does not see the people and does not feel their pain from his high, lofty tower should look through his magnifying glass – so he feels their pains and sees the miserable reality they have reached because of his policies and decisions.
As for the mirrors, their purpose is for the official to look into them, if he can, before sleeping, to confront and hold himself accountable before his conscience – after feeling what he has done to people, and to regret his abuse of power, his greed, avarice, selfishness, corruption, and his trampling of the poor and the weak.
As for the belt, it has the phrase "Start with yourself" written on it – so he ties it around his belly, tightens it well, and secures it before demanding that of the people.
Abu Laban said that this initiative by the party will be the first in a series of upcoming steps that will change the face of political and economic life and achieve a great leap in society.
