Some members of the cultural community went on strike alert on Thursday. The newly formed Cultural Strike committee explained their move as a reaction to the worsening conditions in culture due to the influence of political and power-related interventions by the Culture Ministry under the leadership of Martina Šimkovičová.
Among the members of the strike committee are also representatives of the STVR Strike Committee.
The Ministry of Culture declared that it takes note of the strike alert, respecting the right given by the constitution. At the same time, in its response, the ministry stressed that its leadership emerged from democratic elections and is fulfilling the programme declaration of the government, which has a valid mandate.
The opposition KDH party support the announced strike alert by members of the cultural community.
