"Mr President, Commissioner, the European Parliament wants to help the Egyptian people take a step towards democracy and human rights. For that reason, it is very important that we monitor the implementation of human and fundamental rights during this transitional period, as it is referred to.
Clashes have continued in Cairo. They began with the very regrettable events at a football match, where 74 people were killed. After that, thousands of people took part in demonstrations, at which the police were accused of remaining passive during the riot at the football match.
The rise to power of Islamist parties is a cause for concern, especially with regard to the implementation of the rights of women and children, not to mention of religious minorities, for example, regarding the position of Christians. True democracy requires support for the work of NGOs and the building of civil society, and it certainly does not mean condemning that work. We hope that Egypt’s military leaders will quickly move towards a civilian state, as the demonstrators have demanded."@en1
