لا تكمن أهمية البرلمان المقبل في تعبيره عن إرادة الناس، لكن في تزامنه مع نهاية الولاية الأخيرة للرئيس السيسي، ليصبح دوره محوريًا: إما بتمديد بقاء الرئيس بتعديل الدستور، أو بالتمهيد لانتقال سياسي محسوب.

يسعدنا مشاركتكم ورقة جديدة تناول فيها أبيّ كرد علي، وحليم حنيش، و سارة حمزة الواقع القانوني والتطبيقي لنظام المحاكمات عن بعد في مصر وتونس.
