INTRODUCTION
History
The Tagammuc Party, or Hizb
al-Tagammuc al-Watani al-Taqaddumi al-Wahdawi (National Progressive Unionist
Party) as it is called officially, was founded in April 1976 as one
of three `platforms' or `tribunes' (manabir) within the Arab
Socialist Union (ASU), the single party system of the 1960s
inherited from Gamal Abd al-Nasser. The two other tribunes represented the
conservative Socialist Liberals and the Centre tribune of
the government of Anwar al-Sadat. The left platform was
presided over by Khalid Muhyi al-Din, a former Free
Officier. Although it was originally the intention of the goverment to restrict
the leftist tribune to a purely Marxist one, Khalid Muhyi al-Din prevented this
attempt to isolate it by trying to form as broad a coalition (literally:
tagammuc) as possible of oppositional forces. Apart from Arab nationalists,
famous independent personalities and enlightened religious representatives,
also the group around the Free Officer Kamal Rifcat joined the leftist
platform.
After having been transformed into `organizations'(tanzim),
before becoming political parties, the three platforms took part in the
elections for parliament in 1976. The Tagammuc Party came forward with a
programme that combatted the basic tenets of the infitah policy (the Open-Door
policy) and the government's orientation towards the West, especially towards
the United States. It defended some of the central tenets of Nasserism: central
comprehensive planning of the national economy, a strong public sector, the
principle of the alliance of the popular forces, the retention of food
subsidies and the maintenance of good relations with the USSR. On the other
hand, it spoke out in favour of a multi-party system and democratic reform.
During the general elections of 1976 only three candidates of Tagammuc
Party won seats: Khalid Muhyi al-Din and Abu cIzz
al-Hariri in Alexandria and Qabari Abdallah in
Cairo. That the Tagammuc Party had only presented 65 candidates for the 350
seats in parliament indicates the difficulties in building a left-wing
infrastructure from scratch. The elections had been relatively free and the
Tagammuc Party had even been able to organize mass rallies, distribute leaflets
and hang up wall posters.
However, relations with the government
deteriorated after demonstrators had adopted the slogans of Tagammuc Party
during the `food' riots in January 1977. Although these events enhanced the
prestige of the Tagammuc Party as a serious oppositional party, the government
started to harass the party in retaliation. For instance, its paper, al-Ahali,
which was published for the first time in February 1978 and reached a
circulation of 50,000 copies, was confiscated several times before it was
definitively closed down six months later. The left's opposition against the
peace initiative of Sadat towards Israel prompted the government in May 1978 to
adopt a law by referendum that branded progressive politicians and activists as
`unbelievers' and `communists', while the `Law of Shame' of 1979 gave the
government the means to ban the left from taking part in politics altogether.
Losing its three seats in parliament during the general elections of 1979, the
party continued its activities outside parliament, even succeeding in
organizing its first national party congress in April 1980 under virtual siege
by the police.
The membership of the Tagammuc Party grew from 30,000 in
July 1976 to 150,000 in 1977, although probably its hard-core membership
numbered about 20,000. Its membership was concentrated in Cairo (3000) and
Alexandria (1100), while in provinces close to urban centers or small
industrial centers such as Qalubiyya (about 400), Gharbiyya (2000) and Buheira
(878) the Tagammuc Party also had a respectable presence. In other agrarian
provinces and in Upper Egypt the party had little following. In this period the
Tagammuc Party recruited its members mostly among left-wing intellectuals in
Cairo, from the workers and the civil servants in the public sector companies
and certain categories of peasants. Many of its candidates were elected to
trade union boards in important industrial districts such as Hilwan in the
south of Cairo. It was also relatively well represented in the professional
organizations, especially the Lawyers' Syndicate and the Press Syndicate.
During the first half of the 1980s the Tagammuc Party regained its former
strength. Mubarak was anxious not to make the same mistakes as his predecessor,
and gave more room to the opposition. He also realized that the Islamic
movement posed a greater threat to the government than the left. In 1982
al-Ahali reappeared with a circulation of between 130-160,000 copies. During
the first and relatively free general elections under Mubarak in 1984, the
Tagammuc Party was able to muster a considerable force. It fielded 900
candidates instead of 34 in 1976. For a full month the party was able to wage
an election campaign and revitalize its `sleeping' branches. In 1985 its
membership surpassed its 1977 level, reaching 170.000. However, on account of
the introduction of nation-wide proportional lists and a electoral threshold of
eight percent the Tagammuc Party did not win a single seat in parliament. Only
in Cairo, Alexandria and the rural areas where it was traditionally strong did
the party exceed the limit of eight percent.
During the second half of
the 1980s the Tagammuc Party declined together with the diminishing prospects
for democratization under Mubarak. Although it won several seats during the
elections of 1987, 1990 and 1995, its influence remained largely confined to
its previous constituency.
The collection
The collection of the Tagammuc Party was given to the
IISH in 1997 by Bertus Hendriks, a
Dutch scholar who did research on the Tagammuc Party from 1977 to 1990. Except
for the large collection of party papers (al-Ahali, al-Shacb, al-Wafd and
al-Ahrar) which run from 1977 until the present, it consists mainly of
published material which Bertus Hendriks collected for his research in the
period 1977-1984. The first part of the collection covers basic documents of
the founding of the Tagammuc Party; resolutions adopted during its congresses;
party programmes in draft and final form; communiques and pamphlets issued by
the Central Committee; statutes and pamphlets issued by party branches;
documents issued by different committees of the party; different publications
for cadre training; leaflets and pamphlets issued in reaction to governmental
repression of the left during the end of the Sadat era; critique by the
Tagammuc Party of the Camp David Accords. The collection also contains material
concerning the general election campaigns of 1984, 1987 and 1990. The second
part of the collection contains the research notes of Bertus Hendriks and the
material he collected for his research.
The documents have been arranged
by subject or, as far as possible, by structure of the Tagammuc Party's
organization (Central Committee, congresses and branches). The research notes
and other research material of Bertus Hendriks have been described separately.
Finally, lists have been added of copies of party papers, which have been
transferred to the library of the IISH.
The size of the collection is
1.9 m.
