The nation’s writers remain fixated on poultry and the elections, making for an insipid column selection

Today’s selection of columns is rather insipid, with the nation’s ink-stained wretches remaining fixated for the most part on lower poultry prices and the upcoming presidential elections. Al Masry Al Youm’s Hamdy Rizk discusses the necessity for dialogue between the state and opposition, Mohamed Aboul Ghar recaps the state’s shortcomings in engineering the elections in a piece for the same newspaper, and Mohamed Esmat wonders in Al Shorouk whether the series of events is unconstitutional. Meanwhile, Al Masry Al Youm’s Abbas El Tarabily recycles previously discussed thoughts on the poultry issue and potential health risks.
