FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Angry protesters in Cairo’s Liberation Square in yet another show of people’s power against the Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF) which has been maintaining a tight grip on power.
The mass demo came upon a call for a million-man march by the largest political party Muslim Brotherhood and the April 6 Youth Movement, who have been protesting against what they call a constitutional coup against Egypt’s February 2011 revolution.
Over the weekend, the SCAF dissolved the parliament and claimed all legislative powers.
Under an interim constitutional declaration released Monday, the generals also took control of the state budget and gave the army veto power on a new constitution, making the president almost powerless.
The measures, taken days before the results of the country’s presidential runoff vote are released, have raised fears that the ruling junta is planning to put its favored candidate at the helm.
Meanwhile, both candidates in the presidential election are claiming victory.
The Muslim Brotherhood stated that its Mohamed Morsi has won 52 percent of the votes, four percents more than Ahmed Shafiq.
But Shafiq’s campaign says the claim is false, and that more than half of voters have chosen right-hand man of ousted dictator Hosni Mubarak as next president.
