- Contradictory statements regarding the old rental law and potential evictions.
- Threat of social unrest due to the application of the old rent law.
Ministers' Inspection Tours and Government Spending
The ministers are inspecting artificial lakes, marinas, and resorts, which are inaccessible to the average citizen. The Minister of Housing is inspecting projects like the C19 Bridge, Heritage City, and beach areas in New Alamein City. The Ministry of Culture and Information are planning artistic programs in these areas, featuring singers and instrumentalists, while the system continues to indulge in luxury at the expense of the people.
Madbouly's Statements on the Old Rental Law
Prime Minister Madbouly claims there will be no eviction under the old rental law and that special cases will be taken into account. He states that the law aims to liberate the relationship between landlords and tenants, with a transitional period to allow for alternatives for those in special circumstances. Madbouly emphasizes that the goal is to achieve balance and that the issue is still under discussion in Parliament.
Contradictory Information and Potential Evictions
Khaled Abu Bakr echoes Madbouly's statements, saying there will be no expulsion and that the law includes quarantines. However, contrary to the Prime Minister's statements, the proposed draft law suggests that after a transitional period, tenants will be evicted. This contradiction has caused confusion, with legal readings of the draft law indicating that tenants will indeed be evicted after seven years without clear compensation plans.
Legal Interpretations and Concerns
According to legal interpretations, the draft law implies immediate eviction, with the state potentially offering assistance to the needy. The rental relationship between owners and tenants will end completely after seven years, potentially leading to eviction unless a new agreement is reached. This interpretation aligns with what tenants understand, causing them to feel the state is fighting against them.
Public Reaction and Government Response
Citizens express confusion and frustration, feeling that Madbouly's words are contradictory. They highlight the struggles of those removed from the ring road and those who have lost their livelihoods due to the high cost of living. The government issues a clear threat, stating it will not allow any social unrest resulting from the application of the old rent law, and there are reports of arrests of individuals speaking out on behalf of the tenants.
