FJP, also known as the Freedom and Justice Party, is a political party in Egypt. It was founded in 2011 by the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist organization that had been banned in Egypt for decades.
The FJP played a significant role in the political landscape of Egypt following the 2011 revolution that led to the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak. In the aftermath of the revolution, the Muslim Brotherhood gained a significant amount of popularity and support, leading to the formation of the FJP as its political arm.
During the 2012 parliamentary elections, the FJP emerged as the largest party, winning nearly half of the seats in the People's Assembly. Following this success, the party nominated its own candidate, Mohamed Morsi, for the 2012 presidential elections. Morsi won the election and became Egypt's first democratically elected president.
However, the FJP's rule was short-lived and controversial. Morsi's presidency faced numerous challenges and criticisms, including allegations of authoritarianism and mishandling of the country's political and economic issues. These factors culminated in widespread protests against Morsi's government, ultimately leading to a military coup in July 2013.
After the military takeover, the FJP faced a severe crackdown by the new regime led by President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. The party was outlawed, and its members faced arrests, imprisonment, and persecution. The crackdown extended beyond the FJP to include the Muslim Brotherhood as a whole.
Since then, the FJP has been officially dissolved, and its members have faced significant challenges in organizing and participating in Egyptian politics. However, the ideology and influence of the Muslim Brotherhood continue to play a role in Egyptian politics, albeit in different forms and under different names.
