Thank you, Mr. President

President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi announced serious and swift measures, to be implemented immediately, during the Labor Day celebrations, which I was honored to attend on Saturday. The measures include raising the minimum emergency fund benefit from EGP 600 to EGP 1,500, directing the House of Representatives to expedite discussions on the new labor law, and supporting the establishment of an integrated training center to prepare youth for the labor market according to international standards, launching a national strategy to promote the culture of occupational safety and secure the work environment, increasing employment among women and disabled ones, and expanding inspections of workplaces to enforce the minimum wage.

The President's remarks were not merely a traditional salute to workers, but rather practical measures that touch the daily lives of Egyptian workers. They affirm that the state is not satisfied with symbolic honors, but is working to improve the conditions of those who shape this country's economy.

The choice of Suez as the venue for the celebration was excellent since the city is witnessing a major industrial boom, and during the celebration, we witnessed a number of important projects in the economic zone northwest of the Gulf of Suez.

The message we get from this day is that production continues, factories are being built, and the state is betting on industry as a path to true economic stability.

The president spoke in clear and direct language, linking the workers' appreciation to actions on the ground, in workshops and factories, where daily life is conducted despite the challenges. He said clearly, "Young people don't need promises, but rather real actions." President Sisi emphasized that workers must feel that their rights are protected and that there are policies to protect their efforts and guarantee them a fair life in light of the high cost of living and the challenges we all face.

This year's celebration was more than just an occasion. It was a declaration that the state continues to support those who work hard and strive, building with them every brick on the road to the new republic.

To every worker, the message was clear: You are not alone, and the state sees you and is working with you for a better tomorrow. Thank you, Mr. President.
