Ainars Mielavs: There are some artists who will not say anything until the state pays their salaries – in Latvia

“The society of creative people is very divided. There are some artists who will not say anything while the state pays them a salary, so we need to focus on those who can really cross the road, ”commented on the new tax reform, which also affects the royalties tax. well – known singer and songwriter Ainars Mielavs.

Not to mention the division in the environment of creative people out loud, but everyone knows it well, Mielavs said in the program. The artist also pointed out that by regularly servicing the established cooperative system, the State Culture Capital Fund would get closer to itself and it was an absolute distortion. Representatives of the creative professions need to talk about this out loud and he is one of those who does it, but there is a part of artists who do not say anything.

“Actors will be silent while they are paid, writers whose books buy 100 copies, but who receive a decent salary, ie a fee from the State Culture Capital Fund, they will be silent. We have to concentrate on those artists who can be crossed by this road roller, ”said Mielavs.

Mielavs pointed out that injustice is also caused by the fact that there are state-run theaters, opera, ballet and the state continues to pay them salaries and these creative people are not under this blow. This is an inequality and this injustice must be addressed so that artists employed by the state and other artists are on an equal footing.
