Muslim Brotherhood welcomes the Brussels Declaration

The Muslim Brotherhood praised the Brussels Declaration which was announced last week by a number of leading Egyptian political figures. The initiative seeks to unite all the revolutionary forces to pursue the objectives of the 25th January Revolution and end the rule of the military coup.

The Brotherhood asserted in a statement released through its official website: “The restoration of the democratic process clearly means respecting the will of the Egyptian people, which was expressed through the electoral processes that were fair, as witnessed by the world and from which emerged the first elected civilian president.”

The movement also praised the continued efforts of the Anti-Coup Pro-Legitimacy National Alliance for its leading role in national efforts of collaboration between the revolutionary forces, saying: “This role is a national duty upon every individual citizen in order to liberate the homeland and assert the sovereignty of the people, to realise their hopes of living in freedom with social justice and human dignity.”
