"People are rich first before raising prices." This is what the presidential candidate Abdel Fattah El-Sisi said 6 years ago, flirting with the burning feelings of Egyptians with the fire of prices and the economic deterioration, but after he became president and for six years he did not miss an opportunity without assuring the Egyptians that there is no free service or even prices Reduced, this is the only path to development, in his opinion.

Sisi's last assurances were yesterday, Sunday, during the opening of a new phase of the metro lines in Cairo, where the Minister of Transport called for raising the prices of metro tickets without hesitation.

Although the project is part of the previous plans of successive governments - as pages in support of former President Hosni Mubarak were published - Sisi took advantage of the opening, as was his habit, to "help Egyptians" - say opponents - by asserting that had it not been for his government, these projects would not have been, and the transmission lines would have been deteriorating for years. And that the continuation of the service must be matched by an increase in prices.

Hours after the president's statements, the Ministry of Transport announced an increase in metro prices, which caused a state of anger on social media.

Tweeters expressed their discontent and dissatisfaction with the repeated increases for metro tickets and other services during the era of Sisi, and some considered that the increases were due to the silence of the oppressed citizen and his lack of demand for his rights.

Others scoffed at people who support the increase in ticket prices, claiming that it will remain cheap compared to other countries such as Britain. The response comes that the wages of the Egyptians are not up to the wages of the British.

Any paper that you will use in government agencies. The cars and telephones are boiled down in need of a bad need # Metro_the subway pic.twitter.com/VdjGBQioe8

Increasing the price of tickets # the subway for the time I don’t think to the drummers, prepare a sortie in order to defend Sisi's decision to increase the prices ... you come and the people who you come from do not separate with you, the growth that divides you with the ruler, even if the people suffer from many increases

Raising the prices of subway tickets from tomorrow ..
I support this wise decision .. The people have accepted to bear the development tax ... the first of which is a condition, the last of which was Nour.
Don't you, citizen, you have to pay ... this is the anniversary of the dispersal when you were protected from terrorism!

A number of citizens shared a picture of the metro ticket after purchasing it at the new price, and the pioneers of the communication sites said that most of the metro passengers are forced to take it because of the tightness of the situation, and that raising prices is costing them what they cannot tolerate.

Tweeters said that the authorities are repaying the loans from the pockets of citizens, and that raising transportation prices will result in a new rise in prices for goods and services, by extension.

The Revolutionary Socialists Movement issued a statement saying that the Sisi regime confirms every day that it is nothing but the power of taxation, oppression and persecution of Egyptians.

The statement added that despite the unemployment and poverty suffered by Egyptians today, the state can only find more collection from the poor, who no longer have anything to offer.

In a related context, a statement by the Minister of Transport, Lieutenant General Kamel al-Wazir, raised a mockery of social media, after he said that the president had extracted a subscription to ride the subway for life.

Tweeters said that Sisi was not satisfied with staying for life in the presidential chair, but also the metro, stressing the impossibility of mixing with citizens.

The minister had confirmed, during a television interview, yesterday, Sunday, that the president intends to take part in metro cars and check on their conditions.

In the news that the president made a subscription to the metro for life, it was burned since the metro is more expensive to hate this
man if he intended it would remain an object of ridicule and God will not do that. # Sisi
