ABSTRACT
Chapter 6. The generational cleavage and the need for internal reform: The final chapter focuses on how the endemic gerontocracy of the group calls for an urgent renovation of structures that timidly began after the renewal of the leadership in November 2014, but which has achieved little. The coup in Egypt that brought Muhammad Mursi’s presidency to an end is understood as a catalyst of this still slow renovation process, which runs parallel to their transition towards more liberal stances. In this sense, the necessary role of the younger generations of the SMB in the renovation of their ideology and its clarification towards the public is highlighted.
