Denial by the Egyptian authorities for the indictment of forty people for trying to "overthrow the regime", as he had reported the Arabya satellite TV. I stopped, say security sources, are accused of unauthorized demonstration, damage to public places and road blockade.

The anger of the protesters. "Tomorrow will be the real day of anger throughout the country," announced the leaders of the group "Popular Forces" during the congress of the Democratic Front for the course in 'al-Sharqiya', 100 kilometers north of Cairo.
It shows the site of the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt. The sign of opposition parties including the Labour Party, the liberal al-Ghad party, the party Nasser and the National Association for the change of El Baradei. Anxiety, the spokesman for the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt, Essam Eryan, ensure that their participation in public events are planned for tomorrow will be "massive, but peaceful."

El Baradei: "I want a new Egypt." Even before the crowds descend on the streets of Cairo, El Baradei commented on events in Tunisia whereas "inevitable" that had followed that example in his own country.
Nobel laureate says he is ready "to lead the transition, if the people will want it." Speaking to reporters, waiting for boarding in Vienna, ElBaradei, says it will "ensure that everything goes in a peaceful and smooth. My immediate priority is to see a new Egypt and see the birth of this new Egypt through a peaceful transition.
" ElBaradei then a frontal attack on U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, for having found "stable" position of the Egyptian government. "I was appalled and shocked by his words - says opposition leader - What do you mean by stable, and at what price? It 's the stability of 29 years of emergency laws, a president with an imperial power for 30 years, a parliament that is almost a joke, a judiciary that is independent? That 's what Hillary Clinton called stability? I'm sure not.
And I hope Clinton is not the standard that applies to other countries. " The EU: to respect the right to dissent. From the chief diplomat of the European Union, Catherine Ashton, comes the invitation to the Egyptian authorities to "respect" the right of their citizens to demonstrate peacefully to defend their rights and to release the arrested peaceful demonstrators.
But on Mubarak begins to be felt also the pressing of Britain, former colonial motherland determined not to repeat the mistakes of France, too passive at the beginning of the crisis of Tunisia.
