The account author Boycott of Babiš's products vulgarized the Minister of Culture Oto Klempíř in his post and criticized the ministry's announcement that it would review contracts and memoranda with significant cultural events, including the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and Prague Spring. According to the author, the office justified the step by a more purposeful setting of support in accordance with the state's priorities. The author linked the announcement to the minister's earlier actions. He wrote that Klempíř this year called it a mistake that he could not influence who the State Fund for Audiovisual Creation would grant subsidies to, and after supporting a film with queer themes, which he labeled as activism, he announced a change in the law. When his predecessor Martin Baxa opposed this, according to the post, Klempíř removed him from the head of the Prague Spring board and wrote that he "resolved" him. The post further stated that people booed Klempíř in Strážnice and that the minister then expected cultural institutions funded by his office to defend the values of decency. His party colleague, Minister Šťastný, according to the author, proposed to limit funding for the festival, which was also rejected by Deputy Prime Minister Alena Schillerová. The day before the announcement of the review, Klempíř said, according to the post, that at festivals with political debates alongside the cultural program, it must be clear what the ministry is paying for. At this year's Karlovy Vary festival, criticism of government plans regarding public media was voiced, the author wrote. He added that the government approved a new State Cultural Policy despite an open letter from professional organizations, associations, and unions requesting its withdrawal. The author saw a pattern in these events where after criticism, discussions about money begin. According to him, public funds did not belong to the minister, motorists, or the government, but to all citizens. Independent expert committees, according to the post, were established so that politicians would not decide on cultural support based on personal disputes. The author acknowledged that the debate on public financing is legitimate, but argued that it should not serve as retribution. Culture, he claimed, should have the opportunity to criticize the government without being silenced or influenced by public money. https://t.co/IQFEX6jrEL #Kultura #PodporaKultury #OdpovědnostMinistrů (translated)

Malca Goldstein-Wolf wrote that Katharina Dröge from the Greens stated on Maybrit Illner that queer people in Saxony-Anhalt are now afraid to hold hands in public. She criticized that Dröge could imagine cooperating with the Left at the federal level, which Goldstein-Wolf called Germany's most dangerous party. She accused the Left of tolerating proximity to Islamists and clans. Additionally, she asked how queer people would feel holding hands in Berlin-Neukölln and labeled Dröge as an agitator whom people should not fall for, in her opinion. #Simulation #LGBTQ #Politik (translated)
