Former presidential candidate Abdel Moneim Abouel Fotouh said that President Mohamed Morsy faces conspiracies to ensure his failure during an iftar after the inauguration of the headquarters of the Strong Egypt Foundation in Beni Suef on Tuesday evening.
These conspiracies are not in the interest of Egypt, Abouel Fotouh said, stressing that he supports Morsy’s 100-day plan, and is ready to work for its success.
Abouel Fotouh also said that state security and the media caused his failure to win the presidency.
He said that he agreed with the members of his Strong Egypt campaign to stand by Morsy in runoff despite what the campaign had suffered from the Muslim Brotherhood, only because they placed the interest of Egypt above all.
“My advice to Morsy is to always to address his people. He should disclose the reasons behind the delay in announcing the government, as well as clarify the reasons for selecting the new prime minister. He shall not leave room for ambiguity.”
Abouel Fotouh added that it is important to recognize attempts to thwart the president’s efforts, and called on the Egyptian people to work together for the sake of Egypt.
