Egypt: FJParty to hold presser this afternoon to announce pro revolution national front

The FJParty says on Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/FJParty.Official, that its presidential candidiate, Mohamed Morsi, and other FJParty leaders held a meeting all day long yesterday with a diverse group of known pro revolution leaders from all political trends, Liberal, leftists, and Islamists, to discuss plans to unite their efforts against recent coup against democracy in Egypt. 

And, they agreed to hold a presser this afternoon to announce a “uniting national project” rejecting the recent coup against democracy and to emphasize their unity and insistence on fulfilling the goal of the revolution. 

Those attending the meeting included prominent liberal novelist, Alaa Al Sawani, revolution youth leader, Wael Ghoniam, former advisors to Abdel Monem Abol Fotouh campaign, senior members of dissolved parliament and known leftist and centrist activists and revolution leaders. 

The FJParty statement says Mohamed El Baradei and Abel Monem Abol Fotouh were also consulted over the phone.

Islam Lotfy, a known Islamist youth leader who resigned from the Muslim Brotherhood in 2011 and who supported Abol Fotouh presidential campaign in first round of presidential round, attended Yesterday’s meeting and said in a statement on his party facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/TMParty, that those meeting agreed on the following:

1) Forming a national front (team) consisting from those who attended yesterday's meeting to manage current crisis

2) Rejecting the constitutional annex 

3) Mohamed Morsi will only take the oath before the People’s Assembly or before them People themselves if he had to. 

4) Forming a national unity government led by a Prime Minister from outside the FJParty and the Muslim Brotherhood

5) Forming a presidential team who represents national consensus. 

No exact time from today’s presser is announced yet. 

If it happens, it could be one of the most significant efforts to unite and form a pro revolution camp across ideologies and political parties in Egypt since revolution. It could also represent a serious challenge to SCAF and empower ongoing public protests in Egypt since Tuesday.
