Egypt's National Salvation Front, the main coalition that backed former president Mohamed Morsi's overthrow, denounced on Tuesday a decree which invests the new interim president with extensive powers and sets a new election schedule.

"The National Salvation Front announces its rejection of the constitutional decree," it said in a statement. The coalition was led by Mohamed ElBaradei until his appointment as vice president in the new government.
