National Progressive Front

The National Progressive Front was a political alliance in Egypt, established in the 1970s, aimed at uniting the ruling party, the National Democratic Party, with other political groups that agreed to its policies. It was designed to create a controlled political environment, giving the appearance of broader participation while maintaining government dominance. Membership was often limited to those willing to support the government’s agenda, reducing genuine political competition and opposition. Essentially, it was a framework to organize political activity under the government’s oversight, ensuring stability while limiting alternative voices in the political landscape.
