The Egyptian parliament's decision to rename the "Nasser Military Academy" to the "Military Academy for Postgraduate Studies" sparked a huge wave of anger in Egypt, especially among Nasserites who described the decision as "a disavowal of the legacy of the national leader."

Egyptian journalist and writer Gamal Fahmy spoke to Al Mayadeen, stressing that "removing the name of Gamal Abdel Nasser will not change anything," because Abdel Nasser remains in the hearts of the Egyptian people.

"أن تزيل اسم #جمال_عبد_الناصر لن يغير شيء لأنه باقٍ على قيد الحياة في ضمير محبيه".

Fahmy believes that the request to remove Nasser's name from the military academy "was not from the armed forces," pointing out that removing the name of Abdel Nasser, who represents a great figure in the history of the Arab nation, is a wretched attempt.

"لا أعتقد أن طلب إزالة اسم ناصر عن الأكاديمية العسكرية هو من قبل القوات المسلحة ويستطيع أي أحد أن يزيل اسم #جمال_عبد_الناصر من أي لافتة أو مبنى لكنه لن يزيله من قلوب الناس"

Egyptian activists rejected the House of Representatives' decision and considered it an attempt to obliterate the national hero's legacy.
