First parliamentary bid to halt cash aid
The government proposed shifting from in-kind support to cash assistance in future phases. However, Freidy Al-Ibaiti, Vice President of the Egyptian Democratic Social Party, called for halting the implementation of this transition at this time. He explained that rapid and repeated inflation makes it difficult to preserve the value of cash support, especially for bread and essential commodities, which are vital for the food security of thousands of families. He urged to keep the support as in-kind and linked to inflation, while presenting a comprehensive reform plan for the support system to the Parliament and conducting an inclusive societal dialogue.
