Egypt's Coptic Pope Tawadros II on Tuesday called on Christian members of religious parties to "reconsider their position," a statement that media reports conjectured was specifically directed to Copts who are members of the Salafist Nour Party.

Coptic lawyer Mamdouh Ramzy "There is no surprise that the members from Coptic 38 present themselves on Nour's [electoral] lists. The Church is not satisfied with what is happening, but its role is symbolic only and it cannot take action against them."
