Sherif Ismael, Egypt’s Prime Minister, showed in his interview with TV presenter Lamis Hadidi, that he is a dreamer that flees the sad reality to the happy dreams. I know that president al-Sisi said we are taking steps towards the removal of subsidies gradually over five years. Two years ago, we were thinking that the government meant that support to be raised is the energy and food subsidies, but we didn’t expect to raise support for the Egyptian pound and let it fails like that.
The traders whom you accused of being conspirators. However, you accept the new prices of Egyptian pound. Moreover, you admit that the increasing prices will increase more and more after the removal of subsidies of fuel.
Yet, the imagination of Mr. Ismail couldn’t tell us about the suffering of Egyptians because of the increasing prices and the removal of subsidies. It was amazing to hear the Prime Minister assuring his optimism for the future. Let me tell you that Egyptians are now worried even about the current moment.
With all these economic measures, our suffering is increasing. Mr. Ismail promised to develop Egypt two years ago, and forgot about your promises now. Therefore, we can’t trust his promises anymore indeed.
In fact, the presenter asked Mr. Ismail when he will resign. He answered: when they tell me thank you, this is enough! The presenter said on behalf of all Egyptians: Thank you, this is enough!
