Liberal Egyptian Party
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Liberal Egyptian Party (Arabic: الحزب المصري الليبرالي, el Hizb el Masri el Liberali), formerly Mother Egypt (حزب مصر الأم, Masr el-Omm) is a grassroots movement and a secular political party in Egypt. The party builds on previous attempts by native anti-colonial activists in the early 20th century to re-assert ethnic Egyptian identity, based in part on national independence from the British and the Ottomans, the establishment of a secular and democratic national government, and the formalization of the local Masri language. It also seeks to revive the indigenous Egyptian language and to disassociate Egypt from the Arab nationalist policies introduced by Gamal Abdel Nasser. The Liberal Egyptian Party calls for separating religion from politics and most civil affairs.
