MFA statement on the situation in Egypt It is with concern that we received news of the suspension of Egypt’s constitution and the removal of President Mohamed Morsi from power. Such a solution must be treated as at least a temporary freeze of the democratic process initiated by the Egyptian nation over two years ago. What is most important today is that the current Egyptian authorities – staying true to their promises – undertake the fastest possible steps to return full power to democratically elected representatives of society. The measures taken by the new authorities should engage in the political process representatives of the broad social spectrum and all political parties. We continue to believe that the future of Egypt may only be determined by the Egyptians themselves. We call on all sides to refrain from violence and act together to restore the principles of democracy in Egypt. In the current situation, we expect the Egyptian armed forces to ensure the observance of the rights and freedoms of all Egyptian citizens, including the freedom of assembly and expression – this also applies to supporters of Mohamed Morsi. msz.gov.pl/en/news/mfa_statement_on_the_situation_in_egypt_1 Since the outset of the Arab Spring, the people and authorities of the Republic of Poland have supported Egyptians in building prosperity and democracy in the country. We shared our experiences stemming from the democratic transition in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Today Egypt can also count on the help of Poland and the European Union as a whole.
