Why the Cultural Commission does not get a complete insight into the Mudam report

The Chamber commission has decided unanimously: the full power point presentation of the consulting company Qualia-an inventory for the problems in the Mudam from the winter of 2024-the complete power point presentation of the Chamber.

After the debate with Minister of Culture Eric Thill, the MPs had received excerpts – including the central record. But there should be no further details for the Commission members.

It was necessary to weigh up the details between data protection and the necessary transparency. « The CAD notes that the document presented for the assessment is mainly based on assessments or value judgments mentioned by name or easily identifiable natural persons, but also on opinions that have been expressed in confidential conversations, » writes the Commission in its avis. « Although these opinions were collected in conversations with an external company, they are addressed to the Mudam board of directors. »

And with that, the MPs are not entitled to know these details. Because: « Documents that contain an evaluation or assessment or a statement that has been sent by confidence to an authority can only be passed on to the persons concerned under certain conditions. » And in this case they are not the MPs.

Nevertheless, the Mudam case will continue to employ the cultural commission. On the agenda of the next meeting, the processes in the Kirchberg Museum are again part of the consultations. After the debate, the new president of the Mudam Board of Directors, Jean-Paul Olinger, expressed the events. It sees a difference between media reporting and the real conditions.
