“It seems that the gene of despotism is manifesting itself more and more in the desire of the authorities to usurp power from the people who have won their territory of freedom with two uprisings in the last 10 years. There is more and more evidence for this.

This law practically destroys all anti-corruption bodies that were created after the popular uprising,” he said.
