The eighth bulletin - your publication (19/8/2020) monitored the popular rejection and ridicule and the demand to stop the decision to reduce the weight of bread instead of raising its price as a kind of fraud, expressing their anger at the pressure on citizens and those with limited income.
Many activists circulated a previous speech by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, in which he promised not to touch a loaf of bread, as he said: "It has not been touched, nor will it be touched." Activists also shared pictures of the new size of the loaf after the decision to reduce its weight.
Amid sharp criticism of the decision, activists have re-published a video clip in the name of the return of the Minister of Supply during the era of the late President Mohamed Morsi, who is currently detained by the Egyptian regime, who raised the slogan of the best product for Akram Shaab, and was known for his surprise visits to inspect bakeries.
Activist Muhammad Sobhi ridiculed the decision and wrote, "There are 20 loaves for sale, an old weight of 110 grams, the price is on the private."
Ali Mansour accused the government of deliberately taking measures that would make the situation difficult for society.
Activist Asma Badr asked about the reasons for the president’s treatment of the people as rich, so she tweeted, “Why is Sisi thinking that the Egyptians are a rich people who reduce the bread for the poor citizen, and apartments with 600 thousand for the poor citizen, and the metro is 10 pounds for the poor citizen, but he cannot take taxes from the rich citizen like Abu Hashima and Sawiris, Yaris, we are so he read you like what you say, if we were rich, circumstances would not force us to remain our president.
While the activist Hamada Al-Zanati asserted that raising the price of bread will lead to the progress of Egypt, he wrote sarcastically, "Finally, Egypt will pay its debts from the difference in weight in the loaf of bread, and all of it will be in the interest of the citizen, and we will be in the ranks of the developed countries. With a half a pound, we will get ahead of Turkey and all of Europe because we are simply running the race against the direction. Our Lord softens the worship of conquest and fills their stomachs. "
