Morsi has to return; to launch 'reform initiative': Brotherhood Amid calls by Egypt's interim presidency for national reconciliation, the Muslim Brotherhood reiterated its calls for Morsi's reinstatement as a 'way out of the crisis'
The Muslim Brotherhood, from which deposed president Mohamed Morsi hails, has reiterated on Sunday its demand for the return of the ousted president as a way out of the current political crisis. The Party said in a statement that a reinstated Morsi would launch a "reform initiative." This would include carrying out elections for the House of Representatives [lower house of parliament], prepare amendments in the constitution, and a media code of ethics. Egypt's presidential aide for political affairs Mostafa Hegazy had announced on Wednesday that communications with all political forces including the Brotherhood and their political party will start this week as initial steps for the sought national reconciliation. However, in their official statement, the Brotherhood stressed again that they demand removing all signs of what they say was a military coup against Egypt's first democratically-elected leader. "[We demand] the return of the constitutional legitimacy represented by the president [Morsi], the [Shura Council, upper house of parliament] and the constitution," the statement said. They also called for a dialogue, shall Morsi returns, for "all political forces" to discuss all sticking issues and reach consensus. The Brotherhood has been staging protests and sit-ins across Cairo and several governorates until Morsi is reinstated, rejecting the popularly-backed overthrow of the Islamist president by the army's general chief Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi on 3 July. Head of the High Constitutional Court Adly Mansour was sworn in as interim president on 4 July. The Shura Council, which had been delegated with legislative authority until the election of the House of Representatives, was dissolved. In addition, the constitution was frozen and a committee to amend it formed. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/77026.aspx
