“Culture is in danger,” said, through a signed document, more than 20,000 artists in Argentina, including Fito Paéz, Charly García, León Gieco and Cecilia Roth, against the neoliberal adjustments by President Javier Milei through the Omnibus Law.

One of the points contained in this law is “defunding” the National Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts, which is why the artists asked the Argentine Congress not to protect these measures.

“We want to continue to have our own identity as a nation,” they pointed out while demanding no to close the National Fund for the Arts and the National Theater Institute.

Other institutions that will be affected: The National Institute of Music and public libraries.

Milei's goal is to repeal laws vital to the survival of cultural industries, arts and sciences, and cultural heritage.
