Culture Minister Martina Šimkovičová recommended the Arts Support Fund Board to cancel the current call for applications for the position of director of the FPU and to announce a new one. The reason cited is doubts about the conformity of the call's content with the law. STVR (Minute by minute) ↗
The step comes after the minister removed Petra Grutka and Adriana Tomičová from the FPU Board. The Culture Ministry justified their departure by stating it was one of the steps to ease the situation in culture and stabilize the public fund. The Ministry also claims, according to available information, that the board members' terms ended by mutual agreement. STVR (Minute by minute) ↗
However, the removed board members do not view their departure as coincidental. According to disclosed information, they claim that the personnel change occurred shortly before the planned election of the fund's new leadership and after they refused to support František Kornaj for the director position. The Board was to decide on the new FPU director on September 8. kultura.pravda.sk ↗
The situation surrounding the Arts Support Fund is thus shifting from personnel changes to the actual rules for selecting a new director. If the Board accepts the minister's recommendation, the current selection will be halted and the process will restart through a new call. kultura.pravda.sk ↗
