As the fifty-member committee tasked with amending the suspended 2012 Constitution has finished its work, criticism of the committee, its formation and its amended text have continued. Undoubtedly, the most significant criticism of the committee is the fact that it was appointed by the July 3 authority responsible of theouster of former president Mohamed Morsi. The committee can thus be fundamentally rejected – not only for the way its members were appointed, but also for the “constitutional amendments” it has produced. Most Islamic groups, including and particularly the Muslim Brotherhood, have raised this point, as has a segment of the Egyptian population, which will clearly impact voting on the constitutional amendments in the upcoming referendum.
