Badri and his fake ‘union’ are back
[Video removed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb1UlZCeHGI]
Remember Adel el-Badri of the so called Free Union of Egypt’s Workers? He came back to life on Friday, mobilizing hand in hand with the state-backed unions and the mentally deranged singer Ahmad Spider, a counter-protest to Tahrir, in support of the military junta. Goes to show what sort of corrupt politics Badri and co have. The problem however is that Badri is taken seriously by the media, getting interviewed on Satellite TV stations and in newspapers. Those lazy journalists are happy to get anyone to speak in the name of the workers, though if they had done their homework they would have found out easily that Badri has NO support on the ground whatsoever, and that his fake union doesn’t exist except in the cyberspace.
