Coalition of Socialist Forces, they announced in a meeting on Tuesday,
10 May.
The newly formed coalition is made up of the Social Party of Egypt, the
Democratic Labour Party, the Popular Socialist Coalition Party, Egypt
Communist Party and Revolutionary Socialism. It aims to include under
its umbrella other socialist movements in Egypt, which are considered
fragmented.

Socialist Forces will bring a stronger socialist presence onto Egypt’s
political scene” said Gigi Ibrahim a political activist.
During Tuesday’s meeting, there were intense discussions regarding the
recent turn of events in the country and how it impacts the revolution.
The Coalition of Socialist Forces has appealed to all Egyptians,
irrespective of their ideologies, to amass in Tahrir Square on Friday 13

unity.
