/View.info/ When a person is sick, he does not heal only his right hand that holds the spoon, but spirit and matter are the two hands of one organism.
When society is sick, both must be treated, was Vezhdi Rashidov‘s answer to the question of how to make culture during a crisis. The Minister of Culture was a guest of Veronika Chaneva and Krasimir Karakachanov in the column “Your interlocutor” on TV 7. I have done things that I can show on my fingers, Rashidov said in response to a viewer’s accusation that he is the weakest minister of the 90s -th year until now and backed up his words by listing the projects he has implemented.
I manage more money under the European programs than the ministry’s budget, the minister was categorical and listed the 9 repairs of cultural sites to be done by the end of the year.
The Ministry of Culture has the lowest salaries in the country, but there is no money in the budget for an increase, explained Vezhdi Rashidov and added that obtaining funds for salaries will be among the biggest battles it will fight.
He shared that he was in Canada when he learned that antiquities are second only to drugs as an illegal business and told how, together with representatives of the prosecutor’s office, the investigation and the foreign ministry, they brought back to the country 21,000 exhibits in 12 suitcases against 17 thousand euros, because they did not have the money to pay for the transportation of the antiques in the traditional way in the country.
160 medieval icons will be returned to Bulgaria from Rome any moment, said Minister Rashidov.
