Vienna’s City Councilor wants to request a « culturaleuro » from tourists – Diepresse.com
Veronica Kaup-Hasler advises Minister of Culture Babler to « show presence in the scene ». The fact that he has little experience in the cultural sector is not unusual for departments.
In autumn, a change of Vienna City Councilor Veronica Kaup-Hasler to the Federal Government was speculated. But it turned out differently: Although she negotiated the areas of art and culture, DSA office as Minister of Culture then went to SPÖ federal party leader Andreas Babler. Kaup-Hasler therefore points out her expertise in the election campaign and would like to stay in the city government after the urn on April 27th.
« I support Andreas Babler where I can, » emphasizes the « convinced local politician » Kaup-Hasler. She had already had intensive discussions with him. « Of course it is absolutely an advantage if you bring expertise – but in politics you always get departments and topics in which you have no experience. Important: How open is the person? How well can she listen? How quickly can she understand? So I got to know Andreas Babler. » Your most important advice on the new Minister of Culture is: show presence in the scene.
In the run-up to April 27, Kaup-Hasler advertises with four points: « Center for children’s culture and children’s literature house; Junge Theater Vienna: stage for new voices and perspectives; Vienna as the capital of digital humanism; more spaces for art, encounter and cultural exchange ». In addition, « culture in the Vienna Urban Development Plan 2035 is again and very concrete. » And with the cultural strategy 2030 we have defined fields of action that we are now working on. ” Recently criticized communities of interests for art and culture in unison that there is no time and financial plan to implement the cultural strategy and that one is too little involved, Kaup-Hasler rejected: « Politics is in dialogue with the different scenes and artists and the interests of interest. »
« Introduction of a cultural euro absolutely superior »
« We have a special class tourism boom, » states Kaup-Hasler, culture is the main travel group that moves people from all over the world to Vienna. Therefore, she could also gain a lot to the considerations of having the culture benefited directly from the increased overnight number in the form of a dedicated delivery: « I think the introduction of a cultural euro is absolutely superior. » (APA/Red.)
