In the past week, the parliament launched a campaign against two renowned press and media workers. Such a division was mostly revealed during the crisis of May 2015 between the Press Syndicate and the Ministry of Interior. Meanwhile, current Press Syndicate leader Yehia Qallash believes that enforcing the rule of law is the solution. “It is very simple really, if every party respected the law.” He explained that press freedom was not absolute, but rather regulated by the law. Yet, we are still in need of the legislations that transform those principles into reality,” he told Daily News Egypt.
