"What would the new revolution break? Egypt's institution, whether they are the Ministry of the Interior or the Ministry of Defense. And what would it burn? Our property. That's why we should demand the rest of revolution goals peacefully and in a civilized manner fit for us." Badie said about the demonstrations organized for the revolution anniversary.
