Nineteen million voters in several provinces were summoned to the second phase of the legislative
Before the revolution, Mohamed el-Gabry and his brother Kamal had 40 horses in his stable in the neighborhood of al-Samman Nazlet at the foot of the pyramids of Giza. Every day dozens of tourists were in store perfume and papyrus. Ten months later, only have half of the frames. The other 20 horses have been slaughtered and eaten, impossible to maintain in a country without tourists. "More than two weeks we do not sell a single souvenir. If you’re lucky, comes a person per day in the store. " Mohamed’s voice was that of despair yesterday.
Since the January and February revolution, political instability has removed tourism in Egypt. But the messages sent by members of formations Salafists (radical fundamentalists) and Al Nur, who advocates banning alcohol, mixed or bikini beaches aggravate this situation.
So yesterday when they started the second phase of legislative elections, El-Gabry family without hesitation voted to block Egyptian secular coalition and main opposition Islamist parties, "because they are more open to tourism, which can get it back, "Mohamed trusted.
The tourism industry accounts for 10% of the country’s GDP and is the largest source of foreign exchange. Moreover, it employs such an important part of the population that the directors of the Al-Nur in the first phase of the election made sure 24% of the votes, have had to bring order and overrule some of his training, that had been suggested that pre-Islamic statues and the Sphinx are idolaters, and should cover.
Fall of 35 percent
Both the dome of the Salafists as the Freedom and Justice Party, the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, with 36.6% of the votes in the first phase-juggling these days to bring together the most outrageous speeches of its members with the terrible economic situation in the country, which urgently needs to return tourism as their incomes have fallen this year by almost 35%.
Nineteen million Egyptians from various provinces are invited to the second phase of the legislation, this time with seemingly fewer irregularities than the first. Salah Ahmed The observer noted in the neighborhood of Dokki that "make no mistake, the next Parliament will not be able to decide anything, it retains the power to the military junta. " Indeed, this military dominance again became clear yesterday with the sentence to two years in prison for Maikel Nabil blogger for criticizing the Army on his blog.
