Egyptian political forces have conflicting opinions about participating in the million-march to Restore the Revolution. Every political party calls for different political aims; some forces claim to prepare more arrangements in order to show demonstrators at their best, others insisted to invite all political forces in order to oppose the activation of the Emergency Law, trying civilians before military courts and refusing the new People's Assembly Law. The general coordinator of the National Association for Change, Abdul Galil Mostafa, said he did not receive any invitation from any political movements to participate in the September 30 demonstrations. Mostafa claimed to create more coherence and agreement between political forces. Socialist leader in the Alliance Party, Aboul Ezz el-Harir, said political forces did not agree on the aims of the demonstration because the parliamentary elections law is not issued yet. However, all political forces announced their opposition to the Emergency Law. A member of Al-Wafd Party's supreme board, Mohamed Omda, refused participation in the demonstration because the it does not have any legitimate reasons and aims so far. “Chairman of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) Hussein Tantawi's testimony can not be a reason for holding the demonstration,” Omda said. He added the military council achieved many of the Egyptians' demands and held the trail of the century of president the former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Omda said most parties and political forces did not agree on the military council's decision of allocating two-thirds of the elections seats for the proportional list and the third for independences. Regarding the Emergency Law, Omda said there are many movement who prefer the application of the Emergency Law during the current phase because there are attempts to spread chaos in Egypt. “If the Emergency Law continues after the transitional phase, then a million-man demonstration should be arranged,” he said. The head of the Arabian Nasserist Party, Sameh Ashour, said he supports any demonstrations or protests claiming for the Egyptian January 25 Revolution demands. He opposes applying the Emergency law because it restricts freedom and conflict with the goals of the January 25 Revolution. He said the military council policy is unusual and did not achieve any progress. He also expressed his support for the September 30 demonstrations and the youths' demands. The founder of the Popular Alliance Party, Abdul Gaffar Shokr, said the party did not discuss participating in the upcoming demonstrations. About election law, he said the party demands to apply a proportional list 100 percent because it will prevent crimes during the elections. The head of Al-Karama Party, Mohammed Sami, said his party opposes exceptional laws such as the Emergency Law. He said Al-Karama Party will participate in any protest against corruption and against the demands of the revolution. The head of the Youth Revolution, Ali Abdul Aziz, said the September 30 demonstration aims to reform the path of the January 25 Revolution. He said the Emergency Law must be canceled after 30 years of injustice. The revolutionary youth distributed 500 leaflets to motivate citizens in participating in the September 30 million-man demonstration. A member of the political office of the Free Egyptians Party, Ahmed Khairy, said Egyptians are dissatisfied with million-man demonstrations. Demonstrations therefore are not a way to pressure. “The Election Law isn't approved yet. It may still be reformed,” he added. The April 6 Movement and Democratic Front renewed their calls for the demonstration of September 30, calling the Friday to end Emergency Law. In Alexandria political movements support and call for the demonstration including the April 6 Movement, the Democratic Front and other independent activists. The media coordinator of ‘We are independent' Movement, Bahaa El Din Mohamed, said these demonstrations oppose the Emergency Law and call for civil rule. In the governorate of Ismailia, the political office of limitless protestors call political forces to participate in the demonstration as an opposition for current government policies and the Emergency Law.
