President pledges radical reforms to state institutions, but also denounces 'enemies of Egypt' for sabotaging democratic system
The Guardian.co.uk, Wednesday 26 June 2013
The Egyptian president, Mohamed Morsi, has admitted making mistakes in his first year in office.
In
a televised address on Wednesday, Morsi pledged to introduce "radical
and quick" reforms in state institutions, admitting some of his goals
had not been achieved.
"Today, I present an audit of my first
year, with full transparency, along with a road map. Some things were
achieved and others not," he said. "I have made mistakes on a number of
issues."
But the president also blamed unspecified "enemies of Egypt"
for sabotaging the democratic system and warned that the polarised
state of the country's politics was threatening to plunge it into chaos.
His
speech came before a planned mass demonstration this weekend by his
opponents who are demanding that the president resigns and calls an
early election.
