At a time when President Mohamed Morsi rejects any pre-conditions for dialogue with the opposition powers, spokesman Yasser Ali affirmed, on behalf of the presidency, full rejection of the idea of changing the present government. This avowal came despite the proposal being one of the main items of initiatives recently presented by the Salafist Al-Nour Party that was welcomed by the different parties including the presidency. Ali also denied any thought of changing the public prosecutor, who, the different powers believe, was appointed in violation of the law. So what is the benefit of this call for dialogue between the President and the different political powers if each side does not show any readiness to offer concessions to accomplish a new strategy to end the ongoing political differences threatening the stability of the country? Most importantly, one should ask about this insistence on keeping a government, which has failed to introduce any plan or strategy to deal with the current political, economic or social dilemmas. Strangely, this demand for change of government might be the only point that gains approval of all political parties including the Muslim Brothers' Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) as well as their supporter, the Salafists' Al-Nour Party, although for different reasons. The FJP has accused Qandil's government, since he took office, of weakness and inability to assume the heavy burdens of post-revolution Egypt and so has called for a Muslim Brotherhood (MB) government led by the trong MB leader Khairat el-Shater. Al-Nour Party, however, seeks a change of the government to form a new one based on the quota of the parties in the Shura Council (Upper Parliamentary House) or even the dissolved parliament, in which Islamist parties, including the Salafists, won more than 70 per cent of the seats. Meanwhile, the opposition National Salvation Front (NSF) seeks the formation of a new national salvation government to ensure neutrality in supervising the coming parliamentary elections. Curiously, opposition forces showed no concern over having an MB government chosen to govern the country after the MB presidential candidate, Mohamed Morsi reached the rule.The opposition's point is that the Muslim Brotherhood had the full right to form a government enforcing their vision in running the country within the so-called Nahda (renaissance) project, under which the MB backed the FJP's candidate Mohamed Morsi. However, the MB changed its stance and dominated the different state authorities and political life, including the writing of the State constitution. Herein, the opposition became concerned and suspicious over the neutrality and transparency of the coming parliamentary elections under supervision of the present government. The problem lies now in the failure to reach a compromise for this issue. If so, this will not only prolong the political difference and social and economic turmoil in Egypt, but also question the legitimacy of the coming elections if the opposition decides to boycott them.
