Is it possible to find a solution to meet the plight of the 200,000 independent industrial workers left behind just before a giant demonstration planned tomorrow for the fight to save the world of culture and events?

• Cultural protest: clashes between protesters and police

• Artists protest: "Why weddings yes and no shows?"

• Artists' Struggle: "Families Crash Daily"

to " Israel Today" learned that in the near future, Heads of Culture and Sports Minister Chili Trooper are expected to meet to formulate an economic outline to help those self-employed who do not belong to the supported cultural institutions.

After the meeting, a round table is expected to be held by the Minister of Culture and Sport, together with the Prime Minister, Finance and Producers, to reach a settlement and a solution that is agreed upon by everyone. The big rally scheduled for tomorrow is scheduled to happen anyway, and thousands are planning to reach it.

Recall, a day after the Corona Cabinet decided to postpone the opening of theaters and showrooms this week, from June 14 to June 21, the cultural world again faced uncertainty, with great concern and the need to cancel shows scheduled for June 14 and tickets already sold out.

"We put in a panel of three shows about 'Love and Darkness' between June 14 and 16," says Khan Theater Director Elisheva of ZA , "We picked up a phone for people who had tickets to this show in April and invited them to these shows, and I was delighted to be Much bigger than I thought. People renewed appointments, expressed a desire to return, and we were preparing for a week with three shows in the courtroom. Unfortunately, I am forced to cancel these shows. I do not have an alternate date for now, and I hope it is only a week's delay. "

A few days ago, the Minister of Culture and Sport came to the protest tent, where he met the people and listened to their claims. He spoke to the people of culture and promised that he would continue to work in every way to help them in no time: "I hurt along with those who are here today in the protest encampment. I am aware of the great frustration of the people of the cultural world, and I will do everything with all the causes to save and bring back to life the Culture in Israel. " Just hours before, the road to Jerusalem was blocked by protesters from the headquarters of the struggle, which created heavy traffic in the Gate Gate area. More than 60 heavy trucks from lighting and sound companies have blocked the immigration to Jerusalem near the ravine gate, as part of a protest by cultural industry and non-budgeted events.

The Johnny Feingold, chairman of the Association of Organizers and Producers and Co-Chairman of the Working Group of the culture industry and events:  "htasiih our collapse. We have been crying for three months, and despite declaring our industry at risk, there is no grant or help to tens of thousands of companies and freelancers who find themselves unemployed. We are announcing today that we have run out of oxygen, and we demand that they start treating our sector with due respect. '

Rami Beja, producer and leader of the struggle of the private producers' cultural events: "The  outline of culture does not concern us. We are the private sector and the engine of the economic growth of the cultural sector. We engage service providers at major events, shows and festivals. We have funded the government with the taxes we pay, and for this reason the government expects and demands that we return the funds we deserve, in order to save our industry that cares about producing culture in Israel and is in collapse.
