Head of Egypt’s Nour Party bloc speaks out
In an interview with Al-Monitor, Ahmed Khalil, the head of the Islamist Nour Party’s parliamentary bloc, speaks about the party’s role and plans in the legislature.
CAIRO — The Nour Party is certainly a unique case in Egyptian political life, as it is the only party representing the Islamic movement within parliament. Its parliamentary bloc is composed of only 11 members — a challenge in light of the ongoing attacks on the part of liberal and leftist parties in parliament.
Al-Monitor interviewed Ahmed Khalil, head of the Nour Party parliamentary bloc, to shed light on the isolation of the party and the nature of its legislative agenda in parliament, as well its position vis-a-vis the Support Egypt alliance.
The text of the interview follows:
