It had earlier demanded the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak and expressed his willingness to "lead the transition" policy if people asked. "To serve the country for thirty years and it's time he retires," he told Mr ElBaradei in Vienna, where he spent several weeks. Mohamed ElBaradei does not have a recognized party or solid support in Parliament.
With his movement, the National Association for the change, it calls for democratic reforms and social and constitutional amendments limiting the power almost pharaonic exercised by the president. Since leaving the IAEA, he tries to return to Egyptian political game by posing as an alternative to Hosni Mubarak.
In an interview published Thursday by the U.S. weekly Newsweek, ElBaradei had justified his return to Cairo, because "there is no choice." "Every day it becomes more difficult to work with the Mubarak government, even for a transition, and for many people with whom you talk to Egypt, it is no longer an option," he said.
"For them, the only option is a new beginning." President Mubarak has, for now, made no public statement since the beginning of the protest movement. According to CNN, quoting an anonymous senior Egyptian government does "no big change yet."
