"Mr President, it is over 30 years now since I held seminars for young Egyptians in Wildbad Kreuth, the legendary education and training institution sponsored by the Hanns Seidl Foundation. The foundations affiliated to the German political parties have been active in politics and professional training, youth exchanges and human rights projects in Egypt for many decades. That is why it was an exciting development for these foundations when the democratic movement in Egypt began to mobilise. This makes it all the more disappointing to see how people in government, including people who have deep roots in the old regime, are taking arbitrary action against these foundations with the backing of the military, despite the fact that they are not just any old NGOs, but actually have a kind of public legitimacy. Our former President of Parliament, Mr Pöttering, as Chair of the Konrad-Adenauer Foundation, has been directly affected by this development.
I would like to state quite clearly that we want to see an Egypt where pluralism and democracy flourish, not a country where two outmoded blocks collide, namely Islamism, on the one hand, and the military, on the other."@en1
