Chairman of Strong Egypt Party Dr Abdel Monem Aboul Fotouh stressed that Dr Mohamed Morsi is a “legitimate elected leader ousted by a military coup”.


In an interview with Rotana Masria satellite channel Tuesday, Aboul Fotouh pointed out that June 30 was “a revolutionary wave” but that it should not have brought down an elected president. Removing Morsi should have been done through a referendum, he stressed.

“All political forces which took part in June 30 were calling for early presidential elections. But the National Salvation Front is the one which called on the army to intervene to oust Morsi,” he said.
