After the revolution in Egypt a referendum was held about amendments to the constitution. A majority of 77.2% voted yes, 22.8% voted no. Not everybody seems happy with the outcome, and this personal story<\/a> provides some insight to the reasons of disappointment.<\/p>\n

Acceptance? Yes if the system is reliable and trustworthy and we know that the other players weren\u2019t being manipulative and aggressive. <\/i><\/div>\n

Also deeply disturbing is the story about a new Egyptian law that criminalizes protests<\/a>. On the positive side: there will be parliamentary elections<\/a> in September.<\/p>\n
