Egypt buries the Mubarak era.

247 - Nothing like the fall of a dictator. In Egypt, after the deposition of Hosni Mubarak, a new constitution is already being discussed, with greater individual rights and free elections. The military junta that provisionally governs the country will study the demand from secularist parties that a new Constitution be drafted before elections are held.

According to General Mohammed Assar, a member of the Supreme Military Council, the military will change the timetable for Egypt's transition to a democratic regime. The political schedule established through a referendum in March stipulates that the Congress to be elected in September will appoint a 100-member constitutional committee to draft the new Constitution, which will then be submitted to a new referendum.

The so-called Constitution First Movement has the support of secularist parties, youth movements, and presidential candidates with ties to the West, such as diplomats Amr Moussa, former Secretary-General of the Arab League, and Mohamed ElBaradei, former director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). They have asked the Supreme Military Council to postpone the elections and threaten to lead their supporters to new demonstrations in Tahrir Square, Cairo, if their demand is not met.
