The spat between Naguib Sawiris and the Free Egyptians Party has come to a head: The FEP (of which Sawiris is a founder) dismissed Naguib from the party after he did not show up to a hearing with the party’s disciplinary committee, Al Shorouk reports. Sawiris had been summoned for questioning about his “slanderous” remarks, alleged use of “sectarian” language, and giving the impression that he speaks for the party. In the words of Board of Trustees undersecretary Ragy Soliman, this is “a new episode of a satire show about a group that has limited insight into anything.”
