Sobhi Saleh announced that the Freedom and Justice Party agrees with the Muslim Brotherhood that the U.S. supported several of Egypt's political parties financially in an attempt to influence the results of the parliamentary elections to be held in Egypt.

Saleh added in a statement to the Iranian Fars news agency Tuesday that the U.S. has undertaken actions to sow dissension between Egypt's various institutions through political and financial aid.

Saleh also points out that almost 80 percent of Egyptians consider the U.S. the mortal enemy of Egypt, alluding to a referendum about this.

He added that the Muslim Brotherhood is determined to win 40 percent of the seats in the upcoming parliamentary election, and he personally expects the Muslim Brotherhood to win half the seats in the next parliamentary election, which is expected to take place in three phases between Nov. 28 and Jan. 10.

صرّح صبحي صالح القيادي بحزب الحرية والعدالة التابع للإخوان المسلمين أن الولايات المتحدة تقوم بمؤازرة عددٍ من الأحزاب السياسية المصرية مالياً، في إطار محاولتها التأثيرعلى نتائج الانتخابات التشريعية القادمة في مصر.

وأضاف صالح في تصريحات لوكالة أنباء فارس الإيرانية الثلاثاء: "تقوم الولايات المتحدة بزرع الفتنة بين مختلف التنظيمات في مصر عبر المساعدات المالية والسياسية".

وأشار صبحي إلى أن ما يقرب من 80% من المصريين يَعتبرون الولايات المتحدة عدواً لدوداً لمصر، منوها لاستفتاء أجري في هذا الشأن.

وأضاف أن الإخوان المسلمين عاقدون العزم على الظفر بـ 40% من مقاعد الانتخابات التشريعية القادمة، وتوقع شخصياً أن يفوز الإخوان بنصف مقاعد البرلمان القادم، والتي يتوقع أن تتم على ثلاث مراحل بين 28 نوفمبر و10 يناير بالنسبة لمجلس الشعب.
