Minister of Culture of the Republic of Moldova: Only six people actually worked at the Ministry
Sergiu Prodan argues the need to create a separate minister to deal with issues in the field by the fact that in the former Minister of Education, Culture and Research, culture was completely ignored.
“I am shocked by the role and place of culture in the entire previous system of government. I discovered in the former minister only 6 people who came to work and deal with cultural issues. The biggest mistake in the 30 years of Independence is that the culture was perceived only as songs and dances “, said Sergiu Prodan, during the show” Cutia Neagră “on TV8.
The minister says that one of the priorities of the mandate was to create a culture fund and increase the salaries of employees in the field. According to the official, the salary increases will be made as early as 2022.
“We will create a cultural background. When asked where we get our money from? Cultivation must be charged. If we do not look at the neighboring countries, we see that gambling and alcohol consumption are taxed. Wages in the field of culture are either the headache of the current government and this result of the former governments. We need to have a systemic approach, segmentation is not possible. In addition to the actors, there are many people working in the field of art who are not seen on stage, whose salary is just as important. Restorers are people who are not seen on stage, but it is in his hands to add value to a work of art or destroy it. At the salary he says that he does not make decisions, and he does not make bonuses. The payroll law needs to be changed. We need to tidy up. Many times the legislation does not increase the salaries for certain positions “, Sergiu Prodan also said.
