Last night,
the second part of the referendum about the controversial constitution was
finished.
Even before
the official results were published, Moursi nominated 90 members for the Shura
Council; this should have happened only after the publication of the results.
The members of the Shura Council may issue laws as long as no new Parliament
has been elected. This is another hint – for me and others – that the result of
the voting was known beforehand.
The voting
process was as irregular as never seen before in Egypt; although the country
has seen plenty of rigged voting results. Yet, all proves of manipulation, vote
buying, coercion, intimidation, polling stations opened too late or closed too
early, false or missing supervisors are useless. There is no way to claim right
and justice because Egypt has become a lawless state: there is only the Muslim
Brothers’ despotism.
In this
situation, the gossip factory is working overtime: Moursi was very ill, can be
read; the Central Bank’s director resigned last night. This resignation however
has been denied again. There’s no smoke without fire, a proverb says. Therefore,
nothing surprises me anymore. I would not be surprised at all, if Moursi was
declared insane and Khairat El Shater would finally take over the rule. He is the
initial presidential candidate but was legally enabled to run for the
presidency. There is no Vice-President anymore since he resigned two days ago.
Then, no surprise if the seat of the Central Bank’s director and other key
positions in finance and economy would be taken by Muslim Brothers. What is
happening right now only gets the label “legally correct”.
Yet, these
are still rumours and my personal speculations. The latter happened to turn out
to be wrong as well, for example those that the Military would never allow the
MB to come to power. The Military tolerate this because the MB ensure to leave
the Military’s benefice untouched. However, will the Military also tolerate the
country to tumble further and see their benefice in danger?
Egypt will
soon rub its eyes aghast when it realises what is going to happen. The
president (I do not say Moursi) has more powers in his hands as Mubarak ever
had! Nip it in the bud…
… I think
it’s too late.
