Wealth «Farouk» from the reality of official files and articles Daily Press

Glory changer conditions, Controller of the hearts and souls and pens, the phrase might summarize what you feel when you read the new issue of the magazine «Egyptian days» issued by Ahmed Kamali and Amr Ibrahim, the support of the Cultural Development Fund.

The new issue presents monitoring the property of King Farouk, according to official documents before and after the July 1952 revolution, funny thing is what the writer Ahmad Kamali, general supervisor of the magazine's editor, who said he bought the documents from one of the traders involved in the market.

The question posed He tells his story of the fate of those papers that I have not translated and displayed in the magazine,

or hide it, or trade it and sold it, which is what actually happened because someone from outside Egypt presented to the amount fantasy where, of course, does not have one answer to the question «perfect» , but the reality is that we are a nation used to write the history of the door Ashm hostility or memory.

Go back to the number, which begins with the 1923 Constitution materials, released in the reign of King Fuad I, the father of King Farouk, and included provisions that define ownership provisions, came in its article 56, for a salary of His Majesty the King and his family ruling, that when the inauguration of King emoluments and allowances of the owner of the house had to be a law for his rule, and was appointed guardians of the throne, the salaries of the law to be taken from King allocations, then Article 161 specific value of salary annual Royal came 150 thousand EGP, while provisions for the family of the owner 111 thousand and 512 pounds to remain as is his length with the possibility of increasing the allotment decision of parliament.

Interestingly, the king could not overcome those identified his lineage, though it took to get an additional amount must be approved by the Minister of Finance and the Egyptian government, as the magazine's wealth Farouk monitor since assuming the throne in 1936, despite the appointment of the tutelage of the Council on the small in relation to governance King, the opinion Forensic and legal issued by the Egyptian Mufti Sheikh of Al-Azhar, and he settled on the right of the young king to manage all his wealth and dispose of them as he wishes as long as the 15-year-old reached.

Not only that but the newspaper «Ahram» issued the morning of May 4, 1936 published the news of King Fuad issued two royal shortly before his death blows in which his son Farooq all movables royal palaces precious of jewelry and diamonds and pearls, gold, antiques and valuables important and jewelry worth without his brothers, daughters and his mother, Queen Nazli .

Those are were not every source of King Farouk fortune after the death of his father, but he and also remember the magazine «Egyptian days» Pat, looking at a wide range of property endowments, including stopping grandfather «Khedive Ismail» and Waqf «Umm Mohammed Ali» and Waqf «peer-Agha Ogay» , but the more wealth parts inherited Farouk from his father King Fuad weight, as the newspaper «Krwinkel» English said at the time he was 13 million poor people do not know how to read or write one of the country's population, 15 million, you see how much now number?

With the beginning of the rule «Farouk» wanted with the recitation of the department to submit himself to the Egyptians are glamorous, and announced two weeks after the death of his father for the assignment of the third financial allocations, which approved the Constitution in favor of the benefit of the people, ie 50 thousand Egyptian pounds.

And demanded the writer Aisha Abdul Rahman «girl beach» in commenting on the decision in the newspaper «Ahram» May 18, 1936 not to integrate those property donation in the state budget, so as not to get lost in the salaries and expenses of the government, to be allocated to aspects of general reform, and provide us with the magazine balancing Egypt, which was approved by parliament in the 1937-1938 fiscal year, and includes a reduction of allocations House royalist than 111 thousand and 522 pounds to 90 thousand pounds, while the Royal Court allocations amounted to 234 thousand pounds, and the allocation of the Senate, 116 thousand and 388 pounds, and the allocation of the House of Representatives 177 thousand and 929, and the allocation of cabinet was 18 thousand and 551 pounds, while the Foreign Ministry allocations amounted to 262 thousand and 169 pounds.

The most important thing is tracked by the magazine in the allotted place for wealth Farouk number, is the Egyptian press him to the position when he took office and opened the door of his passage Egyptians hearts through highlighting the humanitarian gestures toward the Egyptians from donations or grants so kind Highness by them, and then they change it gradually and as things allow the passage time, for example, the news of the Royal gift to the poor of Alexandria deployment and donate them to the King in the amount of 800 pounds «May 1936», and the news of the kindness of His Majesty on the victims of the tragedy Nile in October of the same year and pledged $ 200 pounds to families stricken by the loved ones, property and the donation in August 1937 amounting to 4325 pounds for the poor in the capital, Alexandria, and a number of charities, including the Israeli hospital and the Association of sympathy, Coptic and conciliation, as His Majesty in the same month Azhar brushes with fine carpets on his account private royalist.

But the kindness Royal on the poor and the needy was not alone what distinguishes Farouk, but it seems that the rulers in Egypt, their hands always get concessions, it is clear that the news published in Al-Ahram newspaper such as ownership voyage by Farouk and family members to Europe in 1937 and before taking up his duties in official, Advantaged news said it has approved a draft decree-law opened a provision of 1750 pounds at the door of King's trip expenses, this amount particularly in relation to the journey of other expenses, and the trip itself it is a pocket expense Royal », wondering editor of the magazine and we are with them, If a tourist trip to the king and his family, why is it spending of Egyptian treasury pocket? Or there will always be the beginning of the melting of the distance between the ruling own funds and funds of the country? .

So «Farouk» could not maintain the popularity won by the people when he took the throne, after the press began to publish news and his family, and therefore issued a royal decree restraining the royal family any news, which circumventedLES press using alternative words, including the word «big», who was referring to the king and, for example, the news published in the «Rosalyousef» the view that a significant trying to put his hand to stop a 20-thousand acres. As Mustafa pasture wrote about the King to sell the yacht royal pride the sea to the Egyptian government while retaining him to do for his travels on board, and marveled that, with the passage of time, the financial limits remain between the king's wealth and the wealth of the country, it may act similarly Egyptian «the tenth folk 40 days has become of them and became of it and became their belongings belongings» .tzaidt expenses King in the forties of the last century was the war profiteers collect wealth of black-market trade, contracting and procurement, brokerage, and private sale of arms and deal Palestine war, was «Farouk» knows those at the lead, the Royal Palace and to get the titles Bakoah and Alepeshoah to combine wealth and influence, and they are willing to pay any price asked by King .obhlol 1952 compounded things and getting bad in the country and crumble popular Farooq and prestige, Cairo burned and demonstrations chanting his downfall, and the press dared him and his regime through the pens of writers accused him of financial discharged, such as articles Ihsan Abdul Quddus, which talked about the thieves government and corrupt and called for them to be tried, Dr. Ahmed Zaki, who wrote an article entitled «cry of pain .. Egypt's worst nations of the earth off» .ocalal religion Hamamsy who writes about the art of combat price rises, and so it was paving the way for a revolution changed the situation, was the army movement July 23, 1952, which turned out to revolutionize people endorsed, and publishes an Egyptian magazine days text telephone conversation took place between the late President Gamal Abdel Nasser and the party is not known in Alexandria was transferred to him seven conditions for the waiver of the king for the throne, and his departure for Egypt, and the eradication of the demands has answered some and rejected some. As the demands which have been answered was safe to go out and dignity of Egypt, and the launch artillery 21-30-gun salute, and Mohammed Najib attends his departure to ensure the integrity of minutes to time, and go to Naples at the yacht Royal unguarded and then return to Egypt «yacht», and the demands which refused Vtl_khast to refuse to take him to Polly Klaas and Muhammad Hassan from his entourage, and took stamps and rare coins his own groups, and refused to manage his wealth and the wealth of his family freelance .oma are only days after King out until discharged all of it and began to disseminate information about the fact that his fortune after opening the Revolution the doors of the royal palaces, and conflicting numbers, it has published writer Ahmed Bahaa Eddin Farouk inherited from his father 15 thousand and 400 acres, and in the end of his rule amounted to 96 thousand acres, while the official papers reported the revolution when the confiscation of his property 48 thousand acres, this is not what he took from businessmen and owners of factories, of which 18 thousand shares happy. not company this, but that the state budget for 1951-1952 in which property allocations amounted to one million and 315 thousand and 916 pounds, and on the way Najib Rehany in the film «Obouhmoos» thing superfluous thing, the distribution of these allocations as follows: 115 thousand pounds air conditioning royal palaces expenses, 70 thousand pounds barracks Guard Royal 0.20 thousand pounds modifying kitchen palace dome 0.174 thousand pounds maintenance gardens royal palaces. Since we nations live logic of Matt King Long live the king, entered the IRS in the game, and said that he absconded from the repayment of 10 million pounds, including a gain work tax 7% annual salary for what we have, all the king's property was confiscated in September 1953, and confiscated all the property on the family of Muhammad in November of the same year, and was a disaster in the sale of many of the property at public auctions.
