The National Salvation Front has more than 35 political groups from all over Egypt. The Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohammed ElBaradei is their coordinator.

During the protests in early December 2012, the front presented three claims on Mursi: repeal its constitution Declaration of November to cancel the scheduled for the end of December referendum on the new constitution and the formation of a new Constituent Assembly.
