In Egypt, parliamentary elections were to be held at the end of the month. They are officially postponed. The decision was made Tuesday by the Administrative Court.
The judges have actually aligned with the position of the Constitutional Court which, on Sunday, struck a part of the electoral law, especially the part concerning the delimitation of constituencies.
The reactions in the streets of Cairo are mixed.
"This delay is not a good thing, and believes a resident interviewed in the city center. This delays the implementation of the roadmap. And that is not good for investors. This will have an impact in other areas. "
A little further on, another man defends himself, postponement of the vote. "It's important to do things correctly in legal terms. It is a question of credibility. It is best that the vote is postponed. We are not close to that. "
Egypt has no parliament since 2012. The assembly, then dominated by Islamists, was dissolved following a decision of the Constitutional Court.
"Some see this postponement of the elections, the evidence of a seizure of power, says Mohammed Shaikhibrahim, euronews correspondent in Cairo. Others believe that it is necessary to avoid any subsequent dispute that would force new elections and thus disrupt the political and economic situation of the country. "
