Books – Muhammad Abu Al-Majd:
Dr. Mustafa al-Fiqi, a writer and political thinker, said that all evidence in the last years of Mubarak’s rule indicated the possibility of a revolution, despite the high growth rate in Ahmed Nazif’s government and the presence of some many positives that were not reaching the people, as they were picked up from corruption groups. And businessmen, and therefore the citizens began to suffer a lot, in addition to the presence of uncertainty in the future.
Al-Fiqi added, in his interview with the program “Happening in Egypt” on MBC Egypt, today, Tuesday, that the Egyptians were wondering about the next president of Egypt after Mubarak, and it was a period in which many rumors appeared about the arrival of Gamal Mubarak as president of Egypt, other nominations, or the army’s assumption of power. Take charge, saying: “Mubarak was prepared throughout his life for the army and told me at one point that there would be no constitutional vacuum without a vice president. Don’t worry, the army will remove the army.”
And he continued: “Mubarak had a sense of the approaching end, and the period of ambiguity in the Mubarak era began with the growth of the young generation and they became familiar with the new liberal trends and the talk about change and the dismissal of Youssef Wali and Safwat al-Sharif,” explaining: “I was sitting with Zakaria Azmy and others, and he was spreading these thoughts to me and telling me We will go in the dark, not right, and things will deteriorate, and that is why the January 25 revolution was not a surprise.”
And he added: “Mubarak decided at a certain stage not to respond to criticism, which is a very dangerous matter, and Mubarak is a man who has few decisions and thinks about one decision for many years like the Koreans and the Chinese, and he chose me as the president’s secretary for information over the course of 3 to 4 years, and he was a person who did not like Initiatives and surprises, and he believed in balances and political alignments.
He explained: “Mubarak was one of the bravest presidents on a personal level and was not afraid. Even one of the situations that witnessed a young man storming his house was not light-hearted, and at night the central security slept soundly and called me at night. He told me to speak to Field Marshal Abu Ghazaleh and he did what the president told you.” Mubarak believed that his existence was a national responsibility, and he was not enthusiastic about bequeathing, and I have never heard from Mubarak, his wife, Gamal Mubarak, or Alaa Mubarak a single word about bequeathing, but the scene was bequeathing, bequeathing, bequeathing.
And he continued: “Magdi Al-Jallad asked me before that, and he told me not to answer before you think for a minute. Do you treat Mr. Gamal Mubarak with you and others as the next president? On January 25, they had a state of anxiety and blurry vision, and his reign had to be changed with an element of compulsion, because this is talk that does not exist in the whole world except in the Arab heritage and kings, because kings do not leave except with the factor of death and their ages.
And he explained: “After certain years of giving, your thought and the thought of those with you must be renewed with historical facts, and the death of Mubarak’s grandson was a dangerous sign and its day ended to the extent that Omar Suleiman told me personally and told him that he was not able to rise, because it was a blow to death, because history has many things that must be To excuse those who are in it and the length of the sentence gives a sense that everything is absolute and gives a denial of reality. May God have mercy on Sami Sharaf, Fouad Siraj Al-Din and Hosni Mubarak.
