We grew up with it: live tweets from the heart of our democracy. Now, of course, debates on culture in recent years have been a bit different from what we expect now. There is no longer a need to fight over the reputation of the arts, as there was during all debates until a year ago. What is it about now? Energy, we think. How theatres. museums and individual artists are going to be compensated for the ridiculously high price of energy. There have been announcements about that, but we want to know for sure if anything will come of it.
And of course we are curious to know which parties are participating, especially the newcomers can give you a good idea of how the wind will blow in the coming years, culturally.
Bosma
We will leave everything up for discussion, but to save time, here is the contribution of Martin Bosma, not only assistant parliamentary chairman, but also Chief Black Pete of the PVV. As every year, he will fire off a furious story about what he sees as woke fascism and will surely link the sinking of St Nicholas' steamer with the war against Russia. So you will not read any of this tomorrow, because it has already been read a hundred times by Martin Bosma or one of his colleagues.
We are really curious to know what the coalition thinks about autonomous artists, and whether the VVD's path will be continued: not talking about art, but about creative industries and events, a move this website correctly predicted a couple of years ago.
Cultural Press Live
If you are on the road, or unable to follow the debate directly via the House of Representatives media, we will keep you informed, for one of the last times via Twitter, because that is where we will eventually leave. So follow us in advance on the only truly independent and decentralised social network, where trolls have less chance: Mastodon.
Meanwhile, you can also follow it all on this page CULTURE PRESS LIVE,
