“Ministry of Culture The tactics for dealing with an emergency are clear: any major restrictions on the cultural sector must go hand in hand with support mechanisms, as the sector has been working under greater or lesser restrictions all this time since its suspension in the spring. Both after discussing in the crisis management working group of the Ministry of Culture and after consulting with various industry groups and receiving estimates from our institutions, we are convinced that the models of action in certain support positions must be different from the spring. During this time, the emotional atmosphere becomes more and more tense, we feel it in our daily lives. We must maintain a rational vector, accept the new circumstances and act responsibly, without losing respect for each other, giving priority to the security of society as a whole. The task is very difficult, but we can do it, “emphasized the Minister of Culture Nauris Puntulis (VL-TB / LNNK).
In the opinion of the Ministry of Culture, support mechanisms should come along with new restrictions in the sector. Proposals on them will be forwarded for consideration next week to the steering group set up on behalf of the Prime Minister to support business and employees working under the Ministry of Finance.
Government decisions have been issued with the approval of the Cabinet of Ministers’ order “On Declaring a State of Emergency”.
