Secular problems exist and nobody should minimize them. Egypt should fix them. He stated that there are problems in the political, administrative, representative areas. We must have the courage to confess that the Copts are not represented, as they should in the political, executive and representing organizations, he said. There is no one prominent Copt, as a leader, in any political party in Egypt.
Parties refrain to nominate Copts.
This situation is in contradiction to what was the norm before the Egyptian revolution in 1952. Copts used to be Prime ministers in Egypt. They used to hold ministerial positions of authority in cabinets and parties. In the last two decades, they were assigned only to state positions, without much authority. Now it is rare in Egypt to have a Copt in any leading position.
