There is a positive side about their mobilization, but also there is a sectarian dimension to it. We have to deal with this protest movement in a delicate, smart way.
Over 200 workers at the Egyptian National Circus staged a four-hour protest on Sunday, demanding an increase in their salaries and accusing the Ministry of Culture of neglecting the circus.
The workers protested from 1 pm to 5 pm in Agouza. They also expressed concern over the Ministry of Culture’s intention to privatize the circus.
The protestors demanded that their salaries be equal to those who work at national theaters.
