Journalist Mustafa Bakkar called for not approving a new increase in electricity prices starting in July, asserting that living conditions have become even more difficult after the global decline in oil prices. He emphasized that the government remains committed to the "coded meter" system despite demands for temporary solutions. He expressed hope that prices will not be raised, as such an increase would burden citizens further—especially with the price of a barrel of oil dropping to around $74. He pointed out that the state bears the difference in electricity costs amounting to 180 billion Egyptian pounds, and that the crisis is also related to difficult social conditions, during which citizens emphasize their need for financial shelter.
