The president who loved his people

By Sameh Selim- Memeber of US Press Agency

We always say that the people loved their president, but we rarely say that the president loved his people.

The president is like a father who takes care of his children and loves them or the shepherd entrusted with his flock, so this president remains immortal even after his departure. His people remember him with all pride, admiration, regret, and pain over his loss. When the president loves his people, whom he considers the people of his house or the closest ones to him, this is how achievements and dreams come true, so they become a reality, even if challenging. So honesty and Mutual trust between the president and the people are among the most important political and economic pillars on which the modern state is built at an unprecedented speed. Trust gives people patience and the potential to overcome the problems and obstacles that hinder the process.

And the words of love that come from both sides, the people and the president, must be translated into practical reality. Either neglect, abandonment, and lack of good listening, as in the past, leads to psychological alienation and isolation, then emigration and leaving the country. As for justice, equality, and equal opportunities under the rule of law, then if the authority of the father, sponsor, or president is absent In the discipline of his children, even by force sometimes, to impose the rule of law and public order. So that the image remains good in front of the world's countries, so that everyone respects you.

And the people exchange love with their president, not with grandiloquent words, but with action and shouldering responsibility, even in the simplest things, such as preserving the state's public facilities, maintaining their cleanliness, and abstaining from everything that violates the laws of the state.

There are presidents in the past who loved their people, such as the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, former president of the United Arab Emirates until he became a model to be measured against.

Honesty, sincerity, honesty, and justice are the qualities of a ruler or president who loves and appreciates his people, like Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, President of the Arab Republic of Egypt in our contemporary era, who called him the beloved president, as he is the only president who truly loved his people.
