Gamal Mubarak posters torn down
Unidentified people have removed posters displayed by the Egyptian Coalition for the Support of Gamal Mubarak in some areas in Daqahliya, particularly in Mansoura.
Niveen al-Deeb, general coordinator for the Gamal Mubarak Support Campaign, said she is not disturbed by the events. Whenever members of the campaign spot people removing a poster, they approach them to explain Gamal’s platform and how it can help the country progress.
Activists from the coalition had earlier established their first branch in Mansoura and toured villages in Daqahliya to gather the signatures of those who endorse Gamal for the presidency.
Al-Deeb said their target is 100,000 signatures from Daqahliya in ten days, adding that the coalition is considering the idea of having citizens sign official proxies supporting Gamal for the presidency.
In Gharbiya, banners supporting Gamal for the presidency were seen in some of the cities. The same banners also attacked the Muslim Brotherhood and ElBaradei, the former chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and potential candidate in the upcoming presidential election.

I wonder why people like to offend each other and think their candidates will win the election by removing posters of any potential candidate. Whether this candidate is the president, his son or any one from any opposition party? Only ignorant people, who do not see the impact of removing posters and making walls, look ugly as it appears on this report. As a result, this act might give more sympathy to that candidate.
Instead of doing such act, come with the opponent program showing the benefits and advantages the people will get. As an example, improving the public transport with long buses (double buses). Health and educational sector. Where the money will come from? As a proposal, cutting fuel subsidies by 10 Billion pounds, Increase current tourist entry visa (which has been the same the last 25 years) from US$ 15, 00 to 25, 00. Do we have water shortage? Decrease rice and increase wheat production. Minimum and maximum salaries in the government and public sector need to be fair and acceptable. One cannot make a monthly salary of 100 000 pounds and other 400 pounds. These are just some of few ways to tell the people what kind of candidate you are, not removing posters of this or that.
