Huge amounts of money from the state for famous artists. Piotr Gliński comments

The government support will benefit, among others, Radosław Liszewski from the Weekend group (PLN 520 thousand), Kamil Bednarek (PLN 500 thousand), Grzegorz Hyży (PLN 449 thousand) or Bayer Full (Sławomir Świerzyński will receive PLN 150 thousand, while his wife, responsible for the management of the band – 400 thousand PLN).

The amount of money that the stars received outraged many Internet users. The Minister of Culture, Piotr Gliński, referred to the matter.

“Our opponents ruthlessly use it in a political game from the beginning of the pandemic. We do not do that. We have created mechanisms that allow entities from many industries, including those covered by cultural restrictions, to obtain compensation on an equal basis for losses, including those subject to cultural restrictions” – commented on Twitter Piotr Gliński.

“Who got support was not determined by sympathies, the type of art, but an algorithm showing who lost income as a result of a pandemic. This is not money for one person, but for entire teams of people who lost their livelihood overnight” – he wrote.
