Maastricht cuts millions more on culture. Who will follow?

According to minister Bussemaker it would all go down very well and Jet de Ranitz of Arts ' 92 felt that all those researchers were panic over nothing sowed. But so they are coming: new cuts to culture, and bigger than first expected. Maastricht, just equipped with a very broad board of B&W, will cut half a million from next year's culture budget first, and at least 750,000 more every year thereafter.

No institution will be spared, announces the D66 councillor. We add that this will apply to almost every arts institution in the Netherlands. So the disaster reports are simply true: at least another 30% off. Nationwide. Someone is already clearing their throat?
