Nader Bakkar, official spokesperson for the Salafi Nour Party, has called for the formation of a new transitional government to steer Egypt through an increasingly tense period.
During a forum organised by his party in Gharbiya on Wednesday, Bakkar said that his party opposes the policies of the current administration.
The Nour Party would not damage the unity of Islamist groups in Egypt, he added.
Bakkar also claimed Nour Party members would not be participating in Islamist protests beginning on 21 June, an attempt to preempt opposition demonstrations demanding President Morsy's ouster planned for 30 June.
The winning party in the “30 June battle will be dancing on the corpse of the nation,” the Salafi representative said, warning that if Morsy's regime rallies its supporters against the opposition, the worst outcome should be expected.
Bakkar called on the government to allow opposition protesters to express their opinions peacefully and urged Nour Party supporters to hold banners and distribute leaflets renouncing violence.
The majority of Egyptians share anger at the regime's policies, he claimed.
“The regime has led the state [in] to a perilous and difficult stage," the spokesperson told the forum. "The Nour Party previously warned against the division of society as a result of differences in political views,” he said, adding that different parties should look for common ground.
Bakkar said that calls for regime change should remain peaceful while the political leadership should allow the demands of the people to be heard. He said his party rejects claims that 30 June will see a “battle between Islam and infidels,” adding that the Salafi Dawa school of thought has always warned against "infidelization."
