Young Egyptian Party (1930s)

The green shirts, including Gamal Abdel Nasser

The Young Egyptian Party was founded in October 1933 as a radical nationalist group with a religious orientation by the 22-year-old Ahmed Hussein and Fathi Radwan. The aim of the party was to create a great empire through the incorporation of Sudan into the state association of Egypt, which should assume the role of a "leading power both within the Arab and the Islamic world". With the so-called green shirts, the party had a paramilitary organization. As Germany grew in power, the Young Egyptian Party also oriented itself towards the National Socialist German Reich , the opponent of Great Britain , and also pursued the strategy of national capitalism. In 1936 the group founded the Young Egyptian Party. With its anti-British stance, the party took on an anti-colonialist position, but it was xenophobic and turned as the main position against foreigners in general or those seen as foreigners (they also included Jewish Egyptians).

During their marriage in the 1930s, the Green Shirts had some violent confrontations with the blue shirts of the national liberal Wafd Party . One member even carried out an attack on Mustafa el-Nahhas Pasha in November 1937. Under government pressure, the green shirts were banned in 1938.

When political parties were re-admitted in Egypt, the Socialist Labor Party was formed in 1978 with the participation of several former members of the Young Egyptian Party , which despite its name drew some political content from the nationalist- populist ideology of the Young Egyptian Party. Your party organ was the "Al-Sha'ab" ( The People ). The group was supported by the Egyptian President Sadat and was supposed to serve as a party loyal to him, but party members were disappointed with Sadat's policies (including corruption) and went into opposition to the government.

Current party group

Another and comparatively left-wing Young Egyptian party group, which bore the same name, was founded in 1990. It is led by Abdallah Rushdi . In the parliamentary elections in Egypt in 2000 , the Young Egyptian Party submitted seven candidates for seats in the People's Assembly .
