Mahmoud Bassiouni: Brotherhood Opposes Citizen-Government Dialogue to Curb Awareness

Journalist Mahmoud Bassiouni said forums and meetings organized by the Egyptian state offer an important opportunity for citizens, the state and the government alike.

His remarks emphasized the value of direct engagement between the public and officials, presenting state-organized gatherings as a meaningful channel for that exchange.

Bassiouni accused the Muslim Brotherhood of opposing direct dialogue between citizens and the government, arguing that the group wants to prevent greater public awareness.

He framed such engagement as beneficial to both sides, linking opportunities for discussion with the public’s ability to become better informed.
