Muhammad Ramadan in the trap of normalization .. Will the Egyptian intelligence service abandon its popular hero?

As much as the Egyptian actor Mohamed Ramadan raised widespread criticism against the backdrop of the spread of pictures that gathered him with Israeli personalities (artistic and sports), while he was in the Emirate of Dubai a few days ago, the General Federation of Technical Syndicates received a standing ovation after its decision to suspend Ramadan from work until his appearance for investigation.

The decision of the General Federation of Art Syndicates stems from Ramadan’s violation of the union’s decision to refuse normalization with Israel. In turn, the Press Syndicate decided to boycott his news and prevent his name and photo from being published on any press platform until the end of the investigation with him in his union.

How beautiful art, music and peace!

But there is a set of questions that impose themselves in this crisis: What are the sanctions that may face Ramadan?

What are the powers of the General Federation of Technical Syndicates?

Do you have the right to prevent him from practicing the acting profession?

Will it affect his career and popularity?

Critics and artists who spoke to Al Jazeera Net say that the General Union did not bring anything new, as the origin of the decision is the position of the artistic and journalistic unions in Egypt, which stipulates the prohibition of all forms of professional, union and personal normalization with the occupation state until all occupied Arab lands are liberated and the legitimate rights of the people are restored. Palestinian.

Many critics consider Muhammad Ramadan to be one of the Egyptian intelligence tools (communication sites)

They emphasized that the most important thing from the decision that has been in effect for years is the results of the investigation that will be conducted with Ramadan and not affecting him, even though he is guilty to the soles of his feet, and ensuring that the General Intelligence, which owns the "Synergy" artistic production company, is controlling the drama in Egypt, where it is prepared. Ramadan is the star of her first window.

Ramadan's reference to the "intelligence apparatus" appeared to come to his aid clearly through the publication of his picture as a "recruiter" on Facebook, as he is the horse in the reconstruction of the typical image of the army in the face of accusations against the Egyptian authorities of the army's hegemony over the government and the country's capabilities, according to observers.

The "summoned", as stated in the description of the Press Syndicate’s decision, is awaiting a judicial session, as the Cairo Court for Urgent Matters has set the session on Monday, December 19, as the first session of Muhammad Ramadan’s trial.

For insulting the Egyptian people.

Ramadan, who has never experienced the anger of the Egyptians at normalization before, and did not know the experiences of his predecessors, is known for his controversy, for his pride in owning a fleet of the latest luxury car models, a private plane, and wearing expensive clothes and jewelry, despite his claim to be a "son of the country" and reflects an image Son of the popular neighborhood.

Fate is at stake

Art critic and screenwriter Hussam Al-Ghamry pointed out "the strength of the Technical Syndicate's decision in the event that its planned investigations with Ramadan are ended, to stop him from acting and to cancel his membership, similar to the late playwright Ali Salem, author of the famous play School of rioters that implemented the horizons, and he was punished by his being written off due to his visit to Israel and his normalizing positions. "

He stressed that "the union’s decision is binding, because it is a condition that he obtain a permit to represent him, and in case he does not comply, the union can by force of law prevent him from acting, as well as prevent his work from being broadcast, although Ramadan is classified as Shubbak’s star, so the decision to stop him and refer him for investigation is influential," noting that "One of the positive aspects of the crisis is the consolidation of the principle of popular rejection of normalization with Israel."

Al-Ghamri believes that the fate of Ramadan depends on two things, the first of which is the continued public pressure against him on communication sites, the second of which is the regime's abandonment of him, and we have evidence of that, as he had previously abandoned some of his men in the past period, such as Abd al-Rahim Ali, Murtada Mansour and others, and had previously directed the union A warning to the El Gouna Festival after it hosted the French actor, Gerard Depardieu, last October, for his declared stances in support of the Israeli occupation.

Who will protect Ramadan?

The Egyptian actor Hisham Abdullah is unlikely to end the crisis by suspending and writing off Ramadan.

Because all institutions and trade unions in Egypt are under the control of Egyptian intelligence and security, and despite the two previous decisions to cancel Ali Salem and director Hossam El Din Mostafa on the background of their visit to Israel, the state later allowed the first to write in Egyptian newspapers, and the second to direct the Egyptian official television.

Speaking to Al-Jazeera Net, he expected that the crisis will eventually be "cooked up" according to his description, pointing out that the first decisions are in order to absorb popular anger, indicating that one of the tools for demolishing peoples is to demolish their morals, and Muhammad Ramadan is the tool of demolition in the hands of the current regime, and he will rise Save it and re-polish it.

Abdullah evidenced his speech by saying that “Ramadan was supposed to be completely canceled, because the picture is more eloquent than words, and any justification or excuse for ignorance does not pay the accusation on him, because no one in Egypt is ignorant of the position of all Egyptians towards normalization with the Zionist entity, and perhaps his going to Dubai did not It is coordinated with the sovereign authorities and surprised everyone with that visit which reveals the control and domination of the Emirati decision over Egypt at this time, "he said.
