There can be no retreat on the political transitional roadmap in Egypt, Egyptian interim President Adly Mansour said Tuesday in his first TV interview aired by the State TV.
Implementing the transitional roadmap is among the priorities of the interim government, said Mansour.The interim president reviewed some of governmental plans to improve the economic situation, stressing that security, economy and education are on the list of the government's top priorities.According to Mansour, imposing state of emergency and curfew was an exceptional measure, which the government had to take to protect the country against dangerous threats. He expressed his hopes to end the curfew soon as security situation is improving. There will be no exclusion to any political faction from the political process, adding that disbanding Muslim Brotherhood is a matter for judiciary to decide.
While hailing the stances of Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates concerning the Egyptian "revolution," Mansour indicated disapproval toward Qatar, saying "Our patience is about to run out. "
Mansour also expressed Egypt's rejection to military intervention in Syria outside international legitimacy, calling for a political solution to the Syrian crisis.
