In this article I have characterized the first year of the political transformation in Egypt. The
character of this process causes a lot of controversies and objections within the Egyptian society
and main political groups, what – in effect – induces the situation of permanent political crisis.
First of all, I have presented a very beginnings of this process, and then depicted the main political
events. After that, I have marked the main political groups and characterized them aims. I have also
depicted the framework of temporary political system, analyzed the parliamentary elections, characterized
the problems with the presidential elections and with the drafting of a new constitution.
The main thesis of this article is the assertion that the army (as main political actor) tend to exert
influence on a new constitution – in order to maintain its corporatist interests and to be able to affect
the Egyptian politics indirectly, what does not favour the democratization
