"Madam President, three years after the fall of Mubarak, the Egyptian Government, incredibly, is trying to cling to the mask of saviours of the revolution. The millions of activists who actually made that revolution are seeing its true face: the face of authoritarianism, the old elites and the forces of reaction. The low turnout for the referendum illustrates that point.
The crackdown on protestors has been vicious and the attack on democratic rights has been incredibly widespread, including the jailing of 20 Al Jazeera journalists for supposedly aiding terrorist groups. Its repression has been wielded against workers and socialist activists, with many trade unionists being jailed and intimidated. Life for working people is getting harder, with inflation at over 11% and unemployment at over 13%.
The lesson from the past three years for working people is clear: they can only rely on their own forces to break the deadlock of authoritarianism, repression and social catastrophe. They need to build their own organisations and independent trade unions: a mass party of working people to redevelop the revolutionary movement and fight for a government of workers and poor people."@en1
