A number of representatives of political forces demanded the abolition of the law regulating protests, and the release of detained political activists.
They criticized the European Union's decision not to send an observer mission to the next People's Assembly election after it expressed concern about the freedom of expression, political pluralism and the rule of law in Egypt.
Secretary General of the coalition supporting the Long Live Egypt Fund Tareq Mahmoud said the statement issued by the EU recently about the situation in Egypt, is "a blatant interference in the internal affairs of the country," pointing out that Europe considered Muslim Brotherhood prisoners "political prisoners," which he said is proof that the EU backs the Muslim Brotherhood, which Egypt has designated a terrorist organization.
"Egypt at this stage leads the world in the fight against terrorism, which is embraced and funded by some foreign countries that will suffer over the next few days of rebound terrorism as it is happening now in France," according to Mahmoud.
Secretary General of the Egyptian Democratic Party Ahmed Fawzy said Egyptian authorities have to refute the allegations of the European Union through holding free, transparent and fair elections, adding activists should be released and the law regulating protests abolished to avoid accusations of restricting freedoms.
Mohamed Bassiouny, Secretary General of the Karama Party, said the government has to overcome the obstacles and difficulties faced by international organizations that monitor elections, to avoid fraud accusations.
The international organizations are right in some accusations and wrong in others, he said. Bassiouny stressed that political parties and forces demanded the abolition of the law regulating protests which has created a gap between the state and youth.
