"In this report, culture is viewed as an instrument to, in the words of the rapporteur, ‘strengthen European citizens’ sense of belonging to the European Union’. However, the truth is that there are various cultures. Let us talk, specifically, about the so-called ‘financial bailout’ programmes of the European Union and the International Monetary Fund, which are, in fact, veritable attack programmes; attacks on democratic values, on social and labour rights, and on culture too. It is the heritage being neglected; it is the penury budgets; it is the restrictions on the free creation and enjoyment of culture; it is the closure of schools; it is the increased prices of museums and cultural attractions ...
We are talking about making efforts, on the basis of creating a symbolic cultural dimension, to legitimise integration whose direction is, unfortunately, ever more out of step with the interests and legitimate aspirations of the public. This initiative cannot, therefore, be separated from the intense ideological struggle inherent in the extremely lively social struggle taking place throughout the European Union. However, heritage is a sensitive area, because it cannot be separated from history. We hope this will not be yet another opening for the worrying and shameful processes of rewriting history that we have been witnessing in various countries over the last few years."@en1
