Bread and circuses…рromises of bread and maybe a pizza …

At the ministerial and media talk down to budget holes and Excise nobody talks about the culture. Without the cultivation of the high culture, however, the spectacles will become more violent and more bread soggy.
„The Ministry of Culture did not have any money left at the end of the year except for salaries, Eyebrows Rashidov complained.“ Around the news in the newspaper „Standard“.
In the vortex of the outcry news about discussing the budget predkongresnite scandals in the BSP and the loss of football internationals from Cyprus, hardly any hesitation and impressed by the deafening silence hangs over the culture. Leaky not only over the Ministry budget, and above all wrong country code in terms of cultural life in all its dimensions as a vital and distinctive value as a sign of public health and prosperity.
Peel off and no one comes to culture …
Culture – away from government visions
Borisov government, with all his energy and building razoblichitelna potential, frankly we can not expect even the assumption that there is something higher, and nadratsionalno obshtoukrepvashto foundations of statehood, called culture. Culture as a major theme of the waste problem in itself feverishly rooting out abuses by the previous government, in a pragmatic strain to bind both ends of the budget, neglected in every horizon, farther than today.
Ministry of Culture itself, ruinirano financial incompetents series of political creature does not emit any signal that there are ideas beyond the provision of salaries. Chat stalemate mention something for or against the legitimation of private collections, some priplamne psevdopatriotichen pathos of offerings and our civilization ends here are clerical enthusiasm. And just in time drama to neposilie culture ognedishashto boiling, samopostiga is samoudarzha and is samoosashtestvyava. Not far from the mind how to find accurate and simple solutions to support and dynamic life of art and its creators today, and to protect the spiritual memory, and for consideration of a national strategy to expand the territory of the Bulgarian achievements abroad.
Borisov – devoid of spiritual Illumination
When will the hour strike for cultural management?
How long for instance predavkva emptied and the possibility of creating, etc. Cultural lotto or lottery, how long is deliberately ignored the experience of the Baltics, which by law special funds collected from taxes on gambling and all of them piling into a fund called „Capital Culture“. This is exactly backwards, speaks some paternalistichen sotsmantalitet organize is cumbersome and redundant structures, like mass feeders, filled with rare bread to be distributed where it is – even to the Foreign Ministry created the Institute of Culture, but so what? if they can not have the means?
Borisov government’s ambition is to overturn the idea of lining out for a responsible management job, but devoid of any spiritual Illumination and thought about the culture, it remains one visokoreytingovo spectacle, garnished with promises of bread. Or pizza, if we stick to modern metaphors Minister Diankov. But remains low in life and the eternal otselencheski strategies.
