Cairo : Alamir Kamal Farag.

In the last two months, the Western media has criticized the two presidents, in the two satiric programs; the first was the Turkish President Ragap Tayyip Erdogan, who was the subject of a satirical song broadcast on German television. And the second is the Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who was the subject of a satirical episode in the British Channel.

Regardless of the content, we'll talk here about the response of the two presidents that was really different. the Turkish President Erdogan was so furious and upset, he objected diplomatically in Berlin, he even called the German ambassador to the Turkish Foreign Ministry, he became a laughingstock in European countries, while the Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has completely ignored it, that if hehas seen the episode, or was informed of it.

Mocking Erdogan

last March, "Extra 3" program was broadcasting on the NDR channel for the first time the song "Ordway Ardwo Erdogan" a two-minute mockery of the Turkish president, mistreated the reporters, in his illusions in restoring the glory of the Ottomans, and the suppression of the demonstrators, and violation of human rights, luxury mansions built with no license, displaying some shots, including a scene falling from his horse, the song made him like Mickey Mouse which made him officially protest to the German government, which ignored him and even gave him a lesson in freedom of expression . Even the channel NDR re-broadcast the songlast week, thus, he summoned the German ambassador.

"Extra 3" program presenter said on public that: "Erdogan probably did not understand the song So here we are re-broadcast with the translation in Turkish."

President of the European Parliament and Turkish President strongly criticized him for protesting againstthe song, considering that a violation of freedom of expression, and denounced Germany, France and the European Union, protests on summoning the German ambassador to the Turkish Foreign Ministry.

The head of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz, said in a sharp tone that: "It is unacceptable that the head of state calls for Germany to limit democratic rights because he felt that there is a mockery of it."

He told the Bild Am Sonntag "We must make it clear to Erdogan: We have democracy in our country ... politicians must coexist with the irony of the Turkish president."

Addressing Erdogan, he added: "You have exceeded your limits you so much, Mr. Erdogan. You cannot do this. The irony is an essential element in the culture of democracy", and directed German newspapers arrows of harsh criticism of Erdogan last week and said he was trying gagged in Germany.

The irony of Sisi

In the last month, the British comedian John Oliver mocked from Sisi and economic vision in his Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, which is broadcast on the HPO channel and accept positions and statements by President in different positions, claiming the existence of what he called the paradoxes in the rule-of the Egyptian president, but Sisi did not react or respond as Erdogan did, and here was the difference.

Erdogan, does not feel confident, shaking the ground from under his feet, there is a Kurdish problem that haunts Johnson, and It has gone with his mind, so he went waging military strikes on their positions in the mountains, Giving them- without knowing it – a momentous case, and put it on the world table.

Also there is terrorism which destroys his country. The last accident of the recent terrorist attack killed 80 people, and there are also international accusations that surrounded the financing of terrorism, starting from the terrorist organization of the Muslim Brotherhood, to the purchase of Syrian oil stolen from ISIS.

The Egyptian president, despite the challenges he faces, seemed in this comparison as a confident step, not shaking of the satirical program..In short Sisi earns, Erdogan loses in the battle of the media democracy.

Interestingly, the Muslim Brotherhoodwho cheered and celebrated the registration of the British episode, which mocked Sisi, couldn’t say a word about the German episode that mocked Erdogan;which is always the attitude of the traitors and criminals.
