CAIRO (AA) - Oppositon blocs in Egypt have planned to take to the streets to stage demonstrations to topple President Mohamed Morsi and the ruling Freedom and Justice Party (FJP).
The National Salvation Front (NSF), the biggest liberal bloc in Egypt, announced the demonstrations would start on May 30 which will be the first anniversary of Morsi's coming to power as the president.
The NSF is supported by the Black Bloc,defined as a "terror organization" by law and has been active in the demonstrations in the past one year.
Strong Egyptian Party leader Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh, former Muslim Brotherhood member, expressed support for the demonstrations to be held.
Given the last general elections, voting rate of the parties which support Morsi is said to be 70 percent.
One of the leading names of the oppositon party Mohamed Baradey inviting the supporters of the ousted leader Hosni Mubarak to attend the protests claimed that May 30 would be last day of the ruling Ikhwan.
Meanwhile the Jamaat al-Islamiyya which supports Morsi told a press conference "We have lost many people so far to topple Morsi and we are ready to lose tens of thousands lives not to return Mubarak's regime".
According to public opinion, demonstration against Morsi is different than demonstrators in Cairo's Tahrir Square on 25 January 2011.
Hosni Mubarak was widely criticized in 2011 while demonstrations against Morsi have not been supported apart from some liberals and left-wingers and secularists.
