The most vocal political group demanding the reinstatement of deposed president Mohamed Morsy has proposed a new initiative to resolve the current political crisis in place since the Armed Forces removed the president in July over popular protests.
In a press conference on Saturday, the Muslim Brotherhood-led National Alliance to Support Legitimacy proposed a serious dialogue to agree on future arrangements without the exclusion of any political faction.
The initiative involves “an end to the military coup, the return to constitutional legitimacy and retribution for martyrs,” said the statement.
“Any serious dialogue requires an environment that is suitable for the political process, as well as halting hatred campaigns broadcast by the media, releasing post-30 June detainees, the return of satellite channels that had been closed, confronting thuggery, securing vital facilities in a way that does not conflict with the right to peaceful protests and adopting openness,” said the alliance, explaining that its call is directed to the Egyptian people.
The statement accused the military leadership, loyalists of Hosni Mubarak's regime and regional, and international powers of plotting against the country. “The military coup authorities have appointed some judges to crackdown on the opposition, and prepared Mubarak's men to take control of the state,” it said.
