Sit in protests continued while President Morsy gave an interview with the Egyptian state TV Thursday night, President Morsy said he acknowledged his responsibility for issuing the latest constitutional declaration, assuring it is a “necessity” to move forward from the transitional stage.
Responding to questions relating to the polarization hitting Egypt after his new decrees, Morsy said he is “very happy that Egyptians have reached this excellent stage to freely express their opinions”. He described the scene of protesters opposing his constitutional declaration as “healthy and positive, as long as the country’s institutions are not harmed”.
