In Vienna, activists were often young second-generation Austro-Egyptian youth or first-generation migrants who had migrated in the 1980s and 1990s.

Overall, the protests that took place in Paris and Vienna were not organised by marginalised migrants but were rather the domain of the middle class, bringing together Egyptian students who had come to Europe to complete their university studies, young second-generation Austro-Egyptians who were still enrolled in high school or in university, and people in their 40s and 50s who had migrated in the 1970s and 1980s and were well established professionally. In Paris, another category of people should be added, namely young men originally from the region of al-Maḥalla in the Nile Delta who had migrated to France in the 2000s to look for work and who had mostly found it in construction. Most of them, however, held degrees from Egyptian universities.
