Ahmed Ezz, steel tycoon and senior member of the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP), accused the independent press of deliberately denigrating the achievements of the government, during a meeting at the Lions Club on Wednesday.
"They like to give a bleak picture of everything," he said, referring to the newspapers Al-Masry Al-Youm and Al-Shorouq. "The state-owned press is more objective and credible," he added.
