Gamal said that he would have supported the previous argument if most of the labor movement and the citizens believed that the elections process is useless.
„The parliamentary elections are not the demand of the SCAF, but the demand of the people, and a real revolutionary cannot leave the people struggling alone,“ Gamal explained.
Gamal used the elections of doctors and teachers syndicates as an example of how the masses can react against the systems and authorities that do not represent them.
The Muslim Brotherhood that controlled the Doctors’ Syndicate for years failed to sustain its control over the syndicate in the elections last month, when independent candidates won seats in the majority of the governorates.
Even when the Muslim Brotherhood members of the Teachers’ Syndicate won a sweeping majority vote two months ago, teachers staged a strong nationwide sit-in despite the rejection of the MB-controlled syndicate to the sit in.
