Youm7 learned that Islamic political forces protesting in Tahrir Square rejected a proposed “national salvation government,” which recommended Mohamed el-Baradei hold the premiership. Sources revealed that the "Liberal Islamists" coalition, which includes 22 Islamic movements, is preparing to issue a statement to reject Baradei's appointment. The coordinator of the Salafi Front, Khaled Said, said that Islamic movements were shocked by the announcement in the absence of complete agreement. He accused political powers of taking advantage of their absence in Tahrir to jump into power. He said that the Islamic powers would not accept the appointment of a figure without consulting the rest of the political powers. Said told Youm7 that although the political powers agreed to only choose those who participated in the past week's protests in Tahrir Square, Baradei came to Tahrir square only “after the bleeding stopped.” The coordinator of the "New Muslims" coalition Hossam al-Boukhary said that Baradei was not agreed upon, and his appointment could end political powers' unity.
