Sabahi: Tangible social justice on top of my electoral platform

CAIRO, April 24 (Aswat Masriya) - Presidential candidate Hamdeen Sabahi has said that achieving tangible social justice and establishing a democratic system are priorities on his electoral platform.

Sabahi met on Thursday with a group of the revolution's youth in a meeting arranged by the National Partnership Current, headed by Shadi al-Ghazali Harb and Mahmoud Afifi.

The main axes of my electoral platform are national independence, social justice, and freedom, Sabahi said in a statement.

Sabahi called for crystallizing a collective political, cultural and moral stance against violence and terrorism as well as those who call for it.

Security and stability should not substitute rights, he stated.

"I contest the election with the same spirit I had when I went to Tahrir Square on January 25 and June 30 to fight a democratic battle," Sabahi said.

The successive transitional authorities are the main culprit in frustrating Egyptians because they did not offer them anything, he explained.

Sabahi also said that if he does not win the election, he will form a strong opposition which any ruler will find hard to ignore.
