Egypt anticipates the election of the President

To stop the progressive state of chaos , which is making it more and more unstable the country, the Egyptian president ad interim , Mansur , announced the anticipation of the presidential elections to be held , then , before those laws, contrary to what was expected. The hope is to bring to the executive power with the election as a personality legitimized by popular vote to lead the country out of the confusion into which he has fallen . This decision amends as expressly provided by the constitutional declaration issued after the overthrow of President Mursi . The decision reveals the intention of the armed forces is to give power to a single body , capable of making decisions, at least in the first phase of an emergency, without the counterpart of the legislature, which will be chosen later. This decision reflects the need to govern with a quick decisions objectively difficult situation , but betrays the principles of democracy , which had inspired the Egyptian uprising against Mubarak. It is also a decision that puts the government in power , and then the military, the power that sustains it , certainly not in a positive light in the international scene , which provides an extra element to take away from a regime increasingly illiberal and repressive , unable to find a dialogue with the opposition , if not well-defined by fences , which leave no room for criticism. If , from the international point of view , the purpose of the seizure of power by the military, was to be closer to the West in general and the U.S. in particular , the tactics of the Egyptian government in office is proving to bankruptcy , because if Washington did not like the turn the confessional in Egyptian politics , can not even appreciate the subsequent authoritarian turn , which does not allow forms of dialogue and collaboration , such as those that existed under Mubarak . On this level, the error of the military is believed to have the power to replicate the conditions present with the old dictator , as conditions are not influential in the relationship with the U.S.. Conversely, the White House, after the fall of Mubarak, has made ​​a change that involves more attention to the internal conditions of a country, in order to maintain official relations , especially those framed in strategic alliances. If Egypt fails to solve its internal political problems , so it is becoming increasingly isolated on the international stage , unable to go to certain countries , who supported the breakthrough confessional. Could open up a dialogue with the countries of the Gulf, who are conducting a policy of double meaning: enhancing the movements Sunnis against Shia ones , but at the same time , lock escalation towards democracy, as it is doing in Cairo, to avoid being contaminated . But this is very different social situations , the economic condition of Egyptian citizens is very critical, while that of the countries of the monarchies of the Gulf is thriving and this condition came to a rigid control of the police, who can not disadvantage elements of rebellion, which In fact, there have been part of religious minorities or migrant workers . The date of the presidential elections should be very close , we talk about a period between February and April , but the weather plays a very crucial factor to reduce the crisis and it is likely that consultation is done in the shortest possible time. The favorite is still the defense minister and army chief Gen. Al Sisi , on which converge the favors of different parts of Egyptian society , especially by those sectors who fear the resurgence of sectarian forces and the military strong man see , the only possible limiting factor . If this prediction will be respected Egypt's future remains unknown wrapped in a very serious, in fact, the unwillingness of the two main parties , the army and the Muslim Brotherhood, but also of that of secular parties put offside by the new government to establish a dialogue provoke further violence and repression new , that the tactics of the strong man at the controls can do increase.
