According to a source present at the meeting, representatives of the President listened more than they spoke and requested from the Coptic delegation that they meet with President Mursī to express their opinions, but the delegation refused. The participating Copts asked to send a letter to the Muslim Brotherhood in which they accept the idea of early presidential elections. They also demanded the quick replacement of the Prime Minister. Finally, they asked that the President apologise for all the mistakes he has made during his presidency.

Munīr Fakhrī, the former Minister of Tourism, said the current economic crisis is a result of the presidency’s inability to manage crises and that they have left the people of Egypt to starve (Michael Fāris, al-Yawm al-Sābī, Apr. 2, p.3). Read original text in Arabic.
