Festival organizers say that the measures taken by the authorities cannot be applied to the events they organize, and that the measures they proposed at meetings with the authorities were able to turn events into safe places.
“We are dissatisfied with the fact that we have discussed with the authorities so far, we have been in working groups, we have proposed solutions that are suitable for our industry and after all these meetings we have received a set of rules and measures that cannot be applied to our events, to no one’s events. I think that nowhere in the world can you think that you are organizing an event to ensure two square meters for each person. We have proposed a set of rules that, once applied, will turn events into the safest places, “Edy Chereji, communications director, told Aleph News. Untold and Neversea, according to Mediafax.
Chereji says that through the measures taken, the authorities have managed to compromise both June and July in terms of organizing events, because the proposed rules cannot be taken into account, they cannot be observed by anyone who wants to organize events.
“I hope that the authorities will return to these norms, especially since the Prime Minister of Romania promised to get involved and that we will have a summer with events and festivals. We do not give up, we do everything for us, but we hope that he also keeps his promise. I think that if he gets involved, the authorities will be able to reconsider these proposals that fail to help in any way. Maybe these measures are good for public events made by various state institutions “, added the communication director.
