Of course the process is political. There's nothing wrong with that.

Hmm I think I meant it in the latter regard: Politics as a partisan
activity connected with established ideologies, since the choice bolsters
one of the sides in an ongoing -'partisan' if you may, the term is used
loosely since there is no efficient official parties on the Egyptian scene
except the ruling one- debate in Egypt.
However, I have to say that Gerard already made it clear that politics is
not part of the equation in LangCom decision, so they dont take it as a
factor, of course, we will not know what actually was a factor since the
arguments are not published.
