The practices themselves on the level of political parties don’t match the aspirations of the Egyptian people very much unfortunately, including the Free Egyptians Party. Citizens consider the Free Egyptians Party not only as the biggest party, but also as the party that represents Egyptians with respect to the issues of citizenship and freedoms, which are of utmost importance. The Free Egyptians Party practice is still largely confined to its headquarters and new parties entered political life in Egypt without achieving any real movement. The Free Egyptians Party and any other party—in the absence of a parliament—practised politics through statements and the media. I thought that the Free Egyptians Party was their only hope to return to political life, but I now regret this assumption.
