Union criticizes leaders over militant payments
Member of the National Council of the Party and the Union of Popular Forces, Haya Barakat, launched strong criticisms of the process used to select the regional women’s list candidate. She regarded it as having turned into a financial brokerage market, where candidates were asked to pay sums of money to run, which contradicts the principle of equal opportunities and creates discrimination among women. She emphasized that such practices harm the party’s principles and reinforce the concept of financial discrimination, threatening the model of female representation that the union has historically defended. This undermines the fight for gender parity and transforms it into a costly financial investment, raising questions about the conditions and criteria used to determine the amounts paid and their impact on final choices. Barakat called on the party leadership to reveal to what extent money influences the endorsement process, warning that the continuation of these practices reflects a party pattern that differentiates between female activists based on financial capability, thereby jeopardizing women’s political rights.
