Justice Party bloc leader to Al-Shorouk: Parliament not a team

The article features statements from Deputy Mohamed Fouad, head of the parliamentary bloc of the Justice Party, regarding the performance of the Egyptian House of Representatives and the government. Fouad affirmed that the parliamentary oversight role achieves partial successes through tools such as questions and inquiries, rather than decisive strikes, expressing his determination to submit a new inquiry against the Minister of Petroleum over the gas and energy crisis. During the interview, he criticized both governmental and parliamentary performance, especially concerning the reported figures for oil production rates, asserting that there is falsification of numbers and a media management that exceeds the actual performance. He also warned that government policies, such as subsidies on goods and energy prices, are heading toward abandonment and reliance on a "soft retreat" approach due to rising loans and debts. He considered that it is time to change the government and develop policies through a clear and specific plan. The discussion highlights that the parliament reflects shortcomings in economic and social policies, with particular focus on issues within the pension system and food subsidy programs, noting that both government and parliamentary visions lack a clear program for implementing reforms.
