gaining ground and supporters to the nomination - though not yet official - Mohamed El Baradei at the next Egyptian presidential elections scheduled for 2011.
Nobel laureate (2005) for Peace and former number one Agency International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said at the end of 2009, to be willing to run for the presidency - in the hands of Hosni Mubarak since 1981 - just in case the elections are fair and transparent.
Since then, his visits to Egypt have made increasingly frequent and public. The last in the city of Mansoura, where hundreds of people greeted him at the end of prayer in the local mosque, with slogans of support. So far El Baradei was limited to meetings in the capital.
El Baradei at the beginning of the year he founded the Movement for change, collecting around your figure lay and religious members of the opposition to the Mubarak regime, and simple activists for human rights.
Class 1942, the Egyptian diplomat does not belong to no party, no small detail since, according to the constitutional amendments made two years ago, a presidential candidate must be a member of the leadership of a party - empowered by a government committee - at least five years.
Indirect recognition to its political role by the Coptic Church, who invited him to attend the Easter mass, and the Muslim Brotherhood, through some of the members present (and celebrating) in Mansoura.
