Mohamed ElBaradei spent the night in Tahrir square on Friday; after participating in the so called Martyr’s Dream march.

The march was the latest in a sequence of protests against President Mohamed Morsy’s constitutional declaration, in which he removed the former Prosecutor General Abdel Meguid Mahmoud and stated that presidential decisions cannot be reversed by the judiciary. The protesters also denounced the draft constitution and claim the Constituent Assembly is not representative of the people.

ElBaradei, head of Al-Dostour party, gave a speech in Tahrir and said he is willing to cooperate with all political powers, but only after the annulment of the constitutional declaration.

Emad Abo Ghazy, secretary general of Al-Dostour party said “The constitutional declaration must be annulled, it’s invalid and defective. We also reject the draft constitution that was [passed] in 48 hours by a controversial assembly.”

It was the first time ElBaradei had spent the night in Tahrir and the square was abuzz with protesters’ excitement.
