Egypt’s NDP Conference Underway

The fifth annual NDP political convention began on Saturday, and like most political conventions, it has been high on platitudes and swipes at the opposition. The Daily News Egypt reports that keynote speaker President Mubarak insisted the government would continue the reforms promised in his 2005 election platform “without delay”. He also reiterated the twin pillars of the party: economic growth and social justice.

The irony award goes to the head of the party’s Organization Secretariat, steel magnate Ahmed Ezz, who lambasted the Muslim Brotherhood and other opposition groups for their “failure and impotence on the street.”
