The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) decided to escalate its stance against the Egyptian government after 48 hours of "pacification" to give the government the chance to change a the basic constitutional document to guiding rather than binding document, and announced its official participation in the Nov. 18 million-man march under the title "Protecting Democracy." The MB said in a statement Wednesday that it joined negotiations with deputy Prime Minister Ali el-Selmy to change the non-democratic articles of the document but the government refused. The MB said they did not find a solution other than joining the Nov. 18 protest as the start of a series of escalating actions unless the government meets the people's demands. The MB added that the document included articles that created a serious crisis in the political society, as they stole the power from the people, promote dictatorship and represent a coup against January 25 revolution. The thing that led all the political powers in Egypt to reject the document and join next November 18 protest, mentioned MB's statement.
