"The protesters who returned to Tahrir Square a few days ago to demand that the military junta governing Egypt, which includes former officials from the Mubarak regime, transfer power, repeal the state of emergency, change the electoral law and fulfil the promises made to improve living conditions for the people, were violently removed by the special forces of the regime. The repression of legitimate popular outrage is still one of the few certainties in Egypt.
Egyptian social and political bodies have been warning that the situation in the country has been worsening day by day since the referendum in which the military claims to have legitimised its rule. The protesters decry the limits on freedom, the criminalisation of protests, violence by the civilian and military police, the trying of civilians in military courts, and the reactionary militias. They also complain of the government’s refusal to increase the minimum wage and impose a maximum income, at the same time as it is raising prices and insisting on selling national resources such as gas cheaply. In this context, it is crucial that the EU change the attitude of complacency and complicity towards the Mubarak regime – clearly evident in the partnerships and agreements concluded – that it maintained over almost two decades, despite frequent complaints from various organisations about the regime’s brutality."@en1
