The amendment of article No.88

Today President Mubarak will announce in a televised speech the so-called biggest and most important changes in the constitution amendments in Egypt that will be discussed in the Egyptian parliament with big expectation of their pass in the parliament ,after all the majority is for the NDP

The most important two amendments will be subject to changes are articles no.88 and the famous no.76 of last at least from my point of view , the rest of course are also important ,by the way the number of articles that will undergo the process of change are 32 :)

today I will speak about the article no.88

Article No.40 is about the Judicial supervision on the elections whether the parliament or presidential

As you may know in Egypt Judges according to the constitution as independent judicial authority supervise the elections in order to achieve the so-called free elections , their supervision extends from the general committees that are the main towns to the subsidiary committees that are the streets ,villages , etc ...

Yet the NDP wants to change this , they don't want a judicial supervision at all in order to win in the elections to get the majority ,you see the judicial supervision and the independence of the judges proved to be a pain in the ass , already they were going to lose the parliament elections this year and their worst nightmares ever happened when they found that the MB representative in the assembly are the leaders of the opposition

At first the NDP wanted to cancel this supervision and substitute it with an independent appointed committee !! How can it be independent and it appointed ?? No si ,Je no sais pas ,I don't know

Then of course after that brilliant suggestion of the NDP policies committee headed by GM himself was declared in the newspapers , both the United States and the people didn't accept it .I mention here the United States because we all know that unfortunately there are some political changes whether in the sake or against the country are taken only to satisfy Washington

And thus they had to change a little bit and volia ,we got the new modified amendment , let there be a Judicial supervision but only on the general committees not the subsidiary committees where all the fraud and cheating happen 

Already the Egyptian opposition is against that amendment to article no.88 check El-Wafad newspaper "sorry in Arabic" by as quick translation ,the head of that party made a statement against the proposed amendment

Also the Judges are against it , already I believe that this amendment is the NDP's revenge from the Judges who are insisting to take back all their rights and privileges from complete independence to better salaries to full supervision in the elections

If you follow the Egyptian political issue since last year you will know that the only new power that stands against the regime and NDP firmly in Egypt are the Judges who were and are escalating their case more and more in all possible ways ended by an internationalization to their case by the EU interfere

I can't understand why they want to change this article if they are moving on in the Political reform for democracy , this article enforces democracy and protects it !! Of course they are pretending

I wish that this amendment won't see the light , just a wish from Mubarak and his party ,a wish that may not come true if all people judges,opposition and silent majority stood against it

This is about article 88 , there are other articles to come
