National Association for Change
The National Association for Change or National Association for Change ( Arabic الجمعية الوطنية للتغيير Al-Jamaʿiyya al-Waṭaniyya lit-Taghyīr , English National Association for Change (NAC)) is a group of different, loosely connected Egyptians of all political affiliations, religions and genders, including representatives of civil society and youth organizations,founded in February 2010, to promote change in Egypt .
The binding principle is a general agreement on the need to unite all voices calling for change within the popular assembly . Mohamed ElBaradei is the responsible president of the National Association for Change. The movement aims to achieve general reforms in the political scene and to guarantee this procedure by amending Articles 76, 77 and 88 of the Constitution .
It is worth mentioning that the previously banned political group of the Muslim Brotherhood is represented by one of its key figures, who were therefore present at a meeting. However, it is unclear whether Amr Mussa , the leader of the Arab League , who met ElBaradei a year earlier, will be part of the new movement. The aim of the group is to bring about political reforms based on democracy and social justice.
