I do strongly support the idea that "Culture is the backbone of our European society." and this is the idea behind why I freely chose EU as my chosen home continet. In the times of crisis, priorities change and peoples focus shift toward essential survival needs. creative sector, artists and auteurs are the first group that suffer. And unlike other sectors like maybe transport or food industry etc. their absence and the consequent of their absence will not be sensed and understood in short term but we will suffer from it in the long run.
