Under consideration
Proposal to postpone and review cultural budget cuts in Flanders
Official title: Voorstel van resolutie van Filip Brusselmans, Bart Van Opstal, Mercina Claesen, Klaas Slootmans, Freija Van den Driessche, Tom Lamont en Chris Janssens over de herziening van de besparingsprioriteiten binnen het cultuurbeleid en het uitstel van de beslissing in afwachting van een grondig parlementair debat
Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘to be considered in committee’)
In plain language
- The proposal calls for postponing planned cultural budget cuts to debate them in parliament first. The authors want to spare cultural heritage and instead make larger cuts to socio-cultural adult education.
- This mainly impacts museums, archives, and heritage libraries on the one hand, and subsidized socio-cultural organizations on the other.
- Nothing changes for you right now. If adopted, historical collections would receive better protection, but activities offered by certain civic associations might be scaled back.
