I spent the day, together with a number of left-wing bloggers and journalists, at the “camp” set up by the Tax Strikers and their families in front of the Ministerial Cabinet HQ in Downtown Cairo. Roughly two thousand Real Estate Tax Officers are protesting, with their families, in front of the ministerial cabinet HQ in Downtown Cairo. Around 55,000 officers are taking part in the national strike. More photos, reports, updates, announcements, calls for solidarity coming soon.
