The Ghent arts center Vooruit was not set up with the name change of the Flemish socialists. They fear confusion of names and will submit their protest to the SP.A.
“The name Vooruit has been inextricably linked to the Ghent arts center for almost 40 years”, it says in a press release. “Artists, public and employees have given it substance and appearance. Vooruit has grown into a nationally and internationally known and appreciated brand name for the arts center that builds its program around social and ecological values.”
“Vooruit is developing a program on the performing arts, music, literature and nightlife, and does this independently of party politics and in complete independence. In order to safeguard the future of the arts center, this has been strived for, invested in and fought for in recent decades. name by the political party detracts from those efforts and will lead to name confusion. “
