The arrival of Patricia del Pozo at the Ministry of Culture and Sports calls into question the project of her predecessor Arturo Bernal to immediately implement the entrance tax in museums and archaeological spaces of autonomous property. The proposal, already advanced and with the selected spaces, is under review since the change of ministry and does not yet have a timetable for its implementation.
The Minister of Culture and Sports, Patricia del Pozo, confirmed this break in the planned and budgeted program in an interview with Canal Sur Televisión: “It studies and analyzes“It’s not about running, it’s about doing it right,” he stressed.
However, Del Pozo justified the measure with arguments similar to those used in the regional parliament by Andalusian President Juanma Moreno: “The issue of payment in the archaeological sites and museums This is a very common practice. If you leave Andalusia and visit an autonomous community, any museum charges you at the entrance. If you travel outside of Spain, entry to any cultural space is paid.
But from there he introduces new developments compared to the approaches expressed by his predecessor Arturo Bernal: “First of all, that the The economic situation of the Andalusians is not an obstacle To be able to access any cultural space, this must be guaranteed. And secondly, to guarantee that everything collected is reinvested in the maintenance of equipment, cultural infrastructure and our culture. These two issues are fundamental to be able to carry out this project,” he concluded.
In the model designed before summer, The Andalusian population is paid to access museums and archaeological facilities even though a broad bonus scheme of 100% of the cost has been introduced for the unemployed, young people and those over 65.
