Sources close to the National Alliance to Support Legitimacy said the alliance has devised a plan to force the government to postpone the presidential elections by continuing protests and sit-ins in key areas, such as Tahrir and Rabaa al-Adaweya squares.

The plan also aims to pressure judges not to supervise the elections, which it calls illegitimate.

 

The sources said the alliance is inviting all opposition forces to join the protests, which it considers a matter of life or death and a last hope for the Brotherhood to return to politics.

 

Alliance member Khaled Saeed said the government is bound to postpone the election because the police will not be able to secure it.

 

Alliance spokesperson Magdy Qarqar said a campaign for that purpose is being launched on Facebook and Twitter. His colleague Amr Adel said the alliance is looking for alternatives now that student demonstrations have stopped.

 

Ibrahim al-Mahallawy of the Brotherhood youth said the movements of Ultras Nahdawy, Rabaawy, Hazemoun and Muslim Rebels are planning to take to the streets as well and topple the “military rule.”

 

The Brotherhood youth group launched what it called “Molotov Revolution” calling for protesters to bring Molotov cocktails and fireworks to throw at the police during the protests.

 

It is also meeting with Salafi movements to agree on a plan of action as to how to face the security forces.
