President calls for real help for culture and sport

Targeted and quick help is necessary, procrastinating with finding concrete solutions can put many culture and sports workers in existential danger, President Zuzana Caputova stated on social media after her meeting with representatives of culture and sport on Thursday. She appreciated the concrete ideas they presented to her. "I understand that 7 months after the crisis outbreak they expect more than promises for working on solving the problem," the President wrote. She pointed out that shopping malls, grocery stores and other facilities had returned to normal mode while mass gatherings were restricted even during the summer. Many culture and sport workers were not eligible for state help due to some specific conditions. Nevertheless, Caputova appreciated that they felt sympathy for those who should be protected. "Let's be sympathetic to them too," added the President.
