• The self-employed are protesting in front of the homes of Gantz and Regav

Dozens of independents demonstrated Wednesday evening in front of the homes of Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz and culture minister Miri Regev in Rosh HaAyin. As mentioned, the self-employed protesters say that the state does not compensate them for the closure of their businesses during the Corona period.

The protesters carried signs saying: "Compensation now", "Shulman is independent", "36 ministers and one for next year", "Take the state out of pocket". Abir Kara, horse trainer and protest leader: "I have been in Shulman for a few months. We went out in many places today. The state needs to stop laughing at us."

"The Corona has exposed all the discrimination of small and medium businesses. We have been abandoned, do not worry about us. The sons of Gantz and Miri Regev do not come to us so we decided to come to them," Kara declared while calling on the state to take care of the self-employed.

Nurit Schechter, an event-producing business: "We closed the business at the beginning of the Corona expansion. I have five children and I have not seen a dime from the state. Abandoned businesses many years ago. Over 60 percent of our money goes to state taxes and we receive nothing. ".

Police placed checkpoints in front of the homes of Gantz and Regev and did not allow protesters to approach their homes. The protesters stood not far from the houses and protested.
