‘A matter of national security’
Hypocrisy and political opportunism duet featuring the NDP and the MBs:
Last Monday the authorization had to be renewed , for the NDP bad luck there were couple of opposition members who objected the renewal and dared to discuss the taboo. Already we are not in war and we are in the middle of a terrible financial crisis we have the right to know how each penny in our budget is allocated.
Not so shocking the MB members stood with Mubarak and voted for the renewal that will be valid till 2012 !!
Galloway’s Moulid
While mobilizing thugs to crack down on MBs and opposition activists who still went ahead from Alexandria to receive Galloway’s convoy, the NDP organized a warm reception (described by one blogger as a moulid) at the Salloum crossing:
NDP gathered people from schools and government offices to meet the “Viva Palestina” convoy. Seems to be very similar to NDP propaganda campaign during elections .. People are summoned for a purpose and then dismissed.
MB activists tried to meet with George Galloway but were prevented from even entering Salloum by state security.
Because of the split in the opposition, even the political forces that decided to meet up with him were too late to do so.
