Can Mohamed Morsi stay in Office to this Day? Yes if he took Advantage

 
CAIRO / PARIS (Reuters) - Egyptian politicians say Western diplomats and Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, isolated perhaps he could stay in office to this day if he took advantage of a political deal with the opposition parties brokered by the European Union in April.
Rejected Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood, an narrowing gap differences deep conviction that the electoral victory gives them sufficient legitimacy to rule. But after less than three months after the army isolated massive popular protests.
Under the compromise reached by the Union envoy Bernardino Leon, after months of shuttle diplomacy was six secular opposition parties recognize the legitimacy of the Mursi and will participate in the parliamentary elections, which threatened to boycott.
In contrast, the Mursi would agree to the appointment of a new prime minister rather than Hesham Qandil and change five key ministers to form a government of national unity and of technocrats and sack the Attorney General and revises election law to satisfy the Constitutional Court.
The failure to reach agreement highlights the challenge facing the EU as it seeks to strengthen its role in the region that the United States is the only political mediator. Given the reluctance of both sides of the political conflict in Egypt from Washington, the Union may be "honest broker" only .. He did not lose hope.
And visiting EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton in Cairo on Wednesday as part of a new effort to reach a consensus on although it did not show signs reflect this on Tuesday when the interim government was sworn legal. The Brotherhood rejects the government, declaring them "illegal".
He said people familiar with the talks said Saad Katatni, head of the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood helped negotiate the deal but could not convince him Mursi and other leaders of the group.
Hamdeen Sabahi said the leader of a popular trend, told Reuters that the opposition has made every effort to reach an agreement and very close to this but in the end it did not change the position of Morsi. The president added that the isolated student dialogue without pre-conditions or requests or agenda or goals.
He said that the opposition pledged full recognition of the legitimacy of Morsi and parliamentary elections if the president agreed to these confidence-building measures.
The Framework Agreement, which was seen by Reuters on drafted for Egypt will support a loan from the International Monetary Fund worth $ 4.8 billion negotiations had stalled. This will open the door to investment and broader economic aid.
Mursi military is holding a number of his aides as that Katatni caged on remand in several cases and then you can not view their vision of things.
But until the moment in which isolated the army on the third of July, under Morsi confirms the legitimacy of the election and did not show any willingness to share power.
In his last speech, and after that the Minister of Defense and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi call on June 23 to reach a political consensus Morsi accused his opponents rejected several offers made by them.
Said Wael Haddara assistant, former President Mursi indicated he will oversee the formation of a coalition government in the last televised speech hours before the dismissal.
He told Reuters in an email that the main problem faced by Egypt was the violence and unrest.
He wondered that if the election had shown one after the other parties that the National Salvation Front (FIS) is able to configure popular, why any government was composed of these parties will be better able to avoid violence or mitigation.
The unique senior political Ismail Brotherhood in an interview during a sit-Morsi supporters after he participated isolated with his colleagues in talks with the European Union envoy on a political settlement and said he has been "active participation" on the FIS parties in a cabinet reshuffle.
He went on saying that there was a deliberate intention to reject everything that happened, "military coup".
The United States dropped its weight behind the initiative of the European Union did not attempt to formulate an agreement on their own.
Among the reasons for this is that the Muslim Brotherhood, has complained that Washington conspire with the army against them while secular opposition accused the media of anti-Islamists United States secret alliance with the Brotherhood.
Diplomats said U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry phoned Marsa in March and told him his support European efforts. And accompanied by the U.S. ambassador in Cairo, Anne Patterson, the European envoy to the meeting with Morsi, a few days later, underscoring Washington's support for the initiative.
He said participants in the talks said Morsi did not reject the proposal of the European Union fully, but it was either too stubborn or could not reach a consensus within the leadership of the Brotherhood in favor of the initiative before graduation events derailed.
One participant said, "There was a detailed proposal and موصف well accepted by all members of the National Salvation Front was sent to Mercy ... have not received a response at all."
The proposal was the focus of a visit by Ashton to Cairo on the seventh of April, during which he held meetings with Morsi and the main opposition leaders. During the visit, and sectarian violence occurred in front of the Coptic cathedral in Cairo, thus weakening the confidence of the opposition in the Brotherhood Morsi and more.
During this visit, she met Ashton also Balsesa which led military intervention to isolate Morsi. The participants said Sisi also supported the European initiative and said that the army does not want to interfere in politics and would welcome a broader national consensus.
He said one of the participants in the talks "to make the army - contrary to what you say Brotherhood now - everything in his power to continue Morsi in office."
The Mursi reflect the gestures of goodwill towards the opposition, but these gestures were not enough to end the stalemate. When the Constitutional Court rejected the election law passed by the Shura Council, which is dominated by Islamists and Morsi agreed to postpone parliamentary elections from April to the end of the year.
As hinted at his willingness to change the Attorney General who has been heavily criticized and accused of being biased for the Islamists but did not give on the move.
And other facts have combined to deepen the distrust between Mursi and the opposition making a deal elusive.
A European diplomat said "the main problem was the lack of full confidence in them all."
The newspaper published liberty and justice for mouthpiece Brotherhood, an article accusing a prominent liberal politician Mohamed ElBaradei to receive huge funding from the United Arab Emirates. A statement of the National Salvation Front Mursi as a "fascist".
And ElBaradei shall now vice president of international relations in the transitional government.
And support for the Freedom and Justice Party political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood bill put another Islamist party to dislodge three thousand judge by lowering the retirement age from 70 to 60 years. He said the Freedom and Justice Party that the judiciary is full of supporters of former President Hosni Mubarak, who strive to disrupt the party's policies.
The opposition denounced the Brotherhood control over the power. When Morsi held a cabinet reshuffle at the end of up Keep Bakndel that brought him widespread criticism as leaves no room for the opposition.
Leon has been appointed a former Spanish diplomat who served as the EU's and Almtogl in the Arab-Israeli peace process Union's special envoy to the Southern Mediterranean in 2011 after the Arab Spring uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen and Syria.
Was not supported by substantial financial assistance, nor by military force, nor the relations between the two institutions Egyptian and American militaries that support U.S. diplomacy. Lyon feature was recognized by the Brotherhood officials that all parties were deemed honest broker. But he was never able to "connect" Brotherhood agreement their leaders were not confident of its desire to complete.
