Bishop Makarios, explained that he refused to meet a delegation of the Egyptian Family House and parliamentarians, for three reasons. First, they haven’t asked for permission to meet him, and when the came to the headquarters of the Diocese of Minya he insisted not to meet them so his action will not be wrongly understood, and the third reason is that he is representing HH Pope Tawadros and meting them will mean that they are accepting conciliation rather than the rule of law , pointing out that if he attend the meeting he would have angered the public opinion He said in a special statement for Youm7: public opinion is very angered by this visit, reactions were harmful”as if one say .. we will reconcile and and you die of your anger.”
