Culture funding crisis: How will this affect the population? In Lithuania, the problem of insufficient funding for the cultural sector and the return of its employees. In November, a multi-day protest is planned to draw public attention and decision makers to this issue. The lack of money worsens social inequality. Culture workers are at risk of dealing with a wage cut, which worsens the economic situation and negatively affects the level of their lives. High defense and security costs make us think of government priorities. While significant budget funds are allocated to strengthening national security, culture remains in shadow. Another result of this policy is the increase in social tension and dissatisfaction in society. The state should reconsider its priorities, otherwise the current situation will only deepen the gap between the rich and the poor.
