And finally, after weeks of controversy and heated debates on the main Egyptian media, Al Gamaa fiction in Arabic "the group" dedicated to the history of the Muslim Brotherhood and aired by Egyptian public television during the month of Ramadan (this year in August) with high approval ratings, will not be retransmitted until after the parliamentary elections scheduled for late November. The serial
could "influence the voters' stated Osama Al Sheikh, Director of the Egyptian radio and television, ERTU, that was quick, as was the custom in the North African republic led with an iron fist by President Hosni Mubarak, in deny any pressure from the secret services, the notorious Mukhabarat.
In fact, has defended Osama Al Sheikh, the contract provided for three months of the Gamaa difference between a broadcast and the next. Thus, no broadcasting before November 29, the starting date of the election process to more rounds for the renewal of the People, the lower house of Parliament. The insecurity of the regime
The case has highlighted, in a sensitive period for the Egyptian political scene, the insecurities of an unexpected regime of the most immovable in the Arab world and Africa in general.
unexpected because, in nearly 30 years as President Mubarak and the rulers of the National Democratic Party, NDP, no minority has ever been able seriously to trouble the Egyptian leadership.
None except the Brotherhood is officially banned from political life, but in practice this in Parliament with 88 deputies elected in 2005 as an independent. The so-called "block of the 88" is about a fifth of the deputies, a total of 444 elected and 10 appointed president.
And who knows what might result if the majority to reach the brothers leave them a greater crack. A movement
evenly spread
The Ikhwan, the Brotherhood in fact, born in Egypt on the initiative of the teacher Hassan Al Banna in 1928 and forced into hiding since 1954 because they were considered responsible for attempted assassination of President Gamal Abdel Nasser, are the only true opposition party in Egypt.
evenly spread across the country and in company with representatives in major trade unions and professional associations, student associations, cultural and recreational centers, the movement has become a phenomenon that has little overwhelmed. For security reasons, there are no membership lists, but the members, especially the younger ones, do not hesitate to reveal his loyalty to the supreme guide Mohammed Badie.
And Badie said Oct. 7 that the intention to participate in the parliamentary vote aiming to conquer 30% of the popular assembly.
Finora la leadership egiziana ha dato l’impressione di saper controllare e reprimere l’ascesa della Fratellanza su più livelli: con il congelamento delle risorse finanziarie, con la messa al bando di qualsiasi partito di ispirazione religiosa, con l’incarcerazione degli esponenti di spicco del movimento.
Tutto inutile, hanno commentato alcuni osservatori della scena politica egiziana, se è vero che una soap opera storico-romanzata costata 50 milioni di lire egiziane (un euro equivale a circa sette lire egiziane, ndr) è percepita come una pericolosa operazione di maquillage della Fratellanza.
Bene o male, l’importante è che se ne parli
Al Gamaa sembra aver scontentato un po’ tutti. Non è piaciuta alla maggioranza politica e alle opposizioni laiche perché ritenuta troppo indulgente con gli Ikhwan. In seno alla Fratellanza è stata criticata perché, al contrario, troppo filo-governativa. Ha indignato Saif Al Islàm Al Banna, figlio del fondatore del movimento, per il modo in cui è stato rappresentato il padre ed è passato alle vie legali contro gli sceneggiatori.
Per non parlare di alcuni teologi, scandalizzati per una sura del Corano riportata erroneamente.
Ma questo “polpettone” egiziano, che presto farà il giro dei network arabi, ha regalato al maggiore movimento islamista al mondo una pubblicità insperata, a spese dello Stato.
