Morsi won the presidential election with only 51.7% of the vote, while the other 48.3% included very powerful forces, including figures from the Mubarak regime and their supporters. Opposition to Morsi hardened following the annulled November 2012 constitutional declaration, by which he had sought sweeping powers – allegedly to protect the country’s infant elected institutions against a politicized judiciary.
今天危机的爆发并不出人意料。穆尔西赢得总统大选的得票率仅有51.7%，而其余48.3%则包括穆巴拉克政权及其支持者在内的强大力量。2012年11月为夺取绝对权力废除宪法宣言激化了政府与反对派的矛盾，穆尔西这么做据说是为了保护埃及新生的脆弱机构不受政治化司法体制的影响。
