The new Egyptian authorities try to project the image that, after the storm, the calm is coming. Just hours after the killing of Islamist fiftyoutside the headquarters of the Republican Guard, the interim president Adli Mansur announced a schedule that provides for the return of Egypt to the democratic path in just six months. With the election of Prime Minister still running, the Muslim Brotherhood have rejected Tuesday the roadmap. The brotherhood, sheltered by mass demonstrations and camping in Cairo, is unwilling to compromise and recognize the coup that ousted a week ago of power. The presidential decree, which yesterday gave a boost to the second Egyptian transition after the threat of violence made her abarrancar, sets a fast process: In four months the Egyptians would have to vote in a referendum the constitutional reform. And earlier 2014, return to the polls to elect parliament first and then president. The Islamist movement ousted Mohamed Mursi refuses because he insists plan is the result of "the usurpation of legislative power"and the head of state, a judge of 67 years, is a "coup designee."This was communicated this Tuesday prominent Brotherhood member Essam the Erian, vice president of its political arm the Freedom and Justice. In his view, the calendar is an involution of the most populous country in the Arab world, which in June 2012 left behind 18 months of military tutelage of the now failed transition. They are the only ones that are planted. The former terrorist organization Al-Gama'a al-Islamiya, a key partner of the Brotherhood, said "the only constitution is recognized that Egyptians decided." "The Constitution can not be suspended because some people so wish", he adds.
2014 Presidential
The roadmap presented yesterday includes a reform of the current Constitution, suspended by the military, which will be put to a referendum before the legislature. 's statement has 33 articles and given the current interim president and his government all legislative power. The first step will be to amend the Constitution by a committee of experts appointed by Mansur. After reviewing the text, pass to another committee of 50 civil society personalities, which should give the green light before being submitted to popular referendum within four months. Two months after the referendum, parliamentary elections should be held approximately in early 2014. And once you meet the new Parliament will be called the president. Meanwhile, the president tries to close the formation of national unity government on the eve of the holy month of Ramadan.So far, several proposals have been thwarted Prime Minister. The first option, the Nobel Peace Prize Mohamed ElBaradei , was blocked by the Salafist party (stickler) of Al Nur, the only Islamist group that rebelled against Mursi. In the last hours, has sounded for the position Samir Radwan, finance minister during the dictatorship of Hosni Mubarak. Al Nur has indicated he would accept appointment to consider a technocrat. Their profile would adapt well to the need to attract foreign investment and bolster an economy ravaged by instability.
