Depois de manter silêncio enquanto os protestos se cresciam no Egito durante quatro dias seguidos, um desafiante presidente Hosni Mubarak falou à nação hoje mais cedo, chamando os manifestantes de “gangues” e “bandidos”. Ele também demitiu o gabinete e disse que iria formar um novo hoje. Internautas de todo o mundo não estão apenas decepcionado, mas indignados com o discurso.
As'ad Abukhalil, do blog The Angry Arab News Service [Serviço de Notícias do Árabe com Raiva], discursa [en]:
Mubarak is speaking live. He is digging a bigger hole for himself. He is insulting the protesters. HE said that he has been sympathetic to the poor all his life. Is that why billionaires surround you, you dictator?
Em outro torpedo, o libanês-americano escreve [en]:
Has called for the resignation of his cabinet. Somebody needs to tell him: it is you that people want to resign, you fool.
Ele pediu a renúncia de seu gabinete. Alguém precisa dizer a ele: é você que o povo quer que renuncie, seu palerma.
E ele compara [en] o discurso de Mubarak com o feito pelo deposto presidente tunisiano Zein El Abidine Ben Ali, que foi forçado a deixar a Tunísia depois de 29 dias de protesto:
You may compare this speech by Mubarak to the last speech by Bin `Ali. It just made things worse. He talked as if the people are merely blaming prime minister Nadhif for their misery. How dictators fight to the last second. I personally think that Mubarak probably would have surrendered power today but the US pushed him to stay in power. I am speculating but I have a feeling I am right. I received information that the US is trying to install the Egyptian Army's chief-of-staff as the new leader.
O escritor dos Emirados Árabes Unidos Sultan Al Qassemi, que tem prestado muita atenção ao Egito desde o começo dos protestos, em 25 de janeiro, descreve seu ultraje e desapontamento em uma série de tuítes.
Ele diz [en]:
He didn't raise curbs on the internet or the mobile phones. He didn't offer to meet with opposition leaders. He didn't acknowledge Egyptians
E acrescenta [en]:
He didn't even say he won't run again later this year, install his son or dissolve parliament! A new gov controlled by Gamal is all you get
e explode [en]:
The biggest bullshit speech that any aging dictator has ever made in history. What a load of crap.
Enquanto isso, aqui há mais reações de todo o mundo:
Este tuíte [en] foi re-tuitado mais de 100 vezes:
@sivavaid: Para Mubarak, a negação é apenas um rio no #Egito.
O presidente dos EUA, Barack Obama também esteve sob fogo cruzado [en] por sua atitude “leniente” em relação aos eventos no Egito:
@SamiraAhmedUK: Mubarak's idea of change at the top:”I've sacked everyone except me.” Obama's address on the need for “concrete” change pretty weak.
E o Vice-Presidente Joe Biden se saiu muito melhor [en]:
@evgenymorozov: Joe Biden eagerly labeled Assange as a “high-tech terrorist” but is reluctant to call Mubarak a “dictator”. America at its best.
Algumas das declarações de Mubarak arrancaram risadas e zombarias no Twitter.
@nanawireko: Hahahaha RT @Zichivhu: #Mubarak, “I'm here to protect Egypt”. #YouLie #SOB
@Mayousef: The People just ousted Mubarak as the mayor of Egypt on @foursquare #jan25
@ringlunatic: RT @unessentialist: RT @yasminhamidi: Mubarak: To prove I am not a dictator, I will personally name a new government! #jan25 #egypt
@omarbaddar: Joke of the day — Obama: “Hosni, I think you need to write your goodbye letter to your people.” Hosni Mubarak: “Why? Where are they going?”
Outros voltaram para os livros de história para nos lembrar [en]:
@MAlshehri “Mubarak is the third longest ruler in the 5000 year history of #Egypt behind Mohamad Ali Basha and the Pharoah Ramseis II #Jan25 “
Ao menos parece que o discurso causou mais ultraje nas ruas:
@EANewsFeed: #Egypt: 1st-hand from Cairo “Spirit is defiant. Protests still going on.” http://tinyurl.com/6ysbf9a #Jan25 #sidibouzid
@monaeltahawy: #Mubarak behaves like dictator who deserves his people's fear. Instead, he's earned their hate & rage. And protesters DON'T FEAR HIM. #Jan25
@AhmadHKh: The images of #Egypt military tanks in Cairo with graffiti on them saying “down with Mubarak” is quite telling #Jan25
E há mais pedidos para que Mubarak arrume as malas e saia do Egito:
@UnitedArabs: #Mubarak, today is a fine day for you to gather your family members and cronies and take a one way trip out of #Egypt
@alykhansatchu: “Mubarak, Mubarak,” they shouted. “Saudi Arabia is waiting for you.” That's when the water cannons were turned on the crowd.
@aqsaaa_: First your people Then the US. Now your army. When your closest allies defy you #Mubarak it would be sensible to step down #Egypt #Jan25
