Al-Jazeera Center: FJP First Official MB Party Worldwide

Discussing the Muslim Brotherhood’s position following the January 25th Revolution, Al Jazeera Centre for Studies described the group’s Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) as being not only the first MB Party in Egypt, but in the Islamic world.

Despite the restrictive clauses set for the formation of parties, the MB was one of the first parties to apply and be granted a license following years of oppression and opposition by the former regime.

The ousted Mubarak, with the aid of the former Interior ministry and security personnel, had directed all efforts at stemming and banning the group from participating in the political arena. Things changed after January 25th and the MB proved that years of oppression was evidence that it was not only resilient but adamant that it would work with the people and for the people since it is part of the people, emphasizing it is not seeking power but participation. Al-Jazeera Center stated that since its formation, the FJP has inaugurated numerous offices in Egypt nationwide working actively for the wellbeing of Egypt.
