Egypt's Morsi Urges Opposition to Engage After Constitution Enacted | |
2012-12-27 | |
[VOA News] Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi is urging opposition groups to join him in a dialogue about the country's future after he signed into law a new constitution that those groups bitterly oppose.
In a conciliatory gesture, Morsi said he takes responsibility for "mistakes" made by his six-month-old government in trying to expedite a transition to democracy. Liberal groups criticized the Islamist president for unilaterally boosting his powers last month to ensure that a panel of fellow Islamists could finish drafting the constitution and submit it to a popular referendum without being challenged by the judiciary. | |

#1 Morsi actually closed his conciliatory remarks quoting a nice Chinese poem:"Let a hundred flowers bloom; let a hundred schools of thought contend." |
