New violence shakes Egypt on the day of the vote for the referendum on the new Constitution. In fact, eight would have died in the clashes between supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and the police forces, which began this morning in Cairo, after a bomb exploded in the Inbaba district.
In some way, we also vote to certify the work of the interim government and the army that deposed former president Morsi. If the yes votes prevail, the new Constitution will replace the one voted last year, with a strong Islamic influence.
What keeps the country on its feet, on the edge of the economic precipice, is above all the money that arrives from the Gulf. Meanwhile, the vote proceeds, in a fiery climate. In front of the polling stations are 200,000 police, 150 national security troops and over 200 combat units.
