The municipal group of the Popular Party in the City Council of Puerto Lumbreras will take a full motion for the Lumbreras council to urge the Governing Council of the Region of Murcia so that it, in turn, requests the Government of the Nation to lower VAT cultural at 4 percent for public performances, in order to encourage and support the cultural sector and the creative and cultural industries in the face of the POSTCOVID19 crisis.

These make up a business fabric that accounts for 3.2 percent of the national GDP.

The crisis generated as a result of the pandemic has had an unprecedented economic, labor and social impact on the Spanish economy. "Our artists, creatives, cultural managers, companies and the rest of the culture sector have seen how the COVID-19 crisis has cut their chances of subsistence or of obtaining a source of income in the bud as practically all activities have been suspended With the vast majority of performances, functions, shows, exhibitions and other activities paralyzed and suspended, many of them have had to reconvert and seek alternatives, such as those offered by the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia, which has promoted PLAN CREA to help this sector or the initiative "Las nights al raso", "said the councilor of the Popular Municipal Group; Juan Rubén Burrueco. For its part, the measures adopted by the Government of Spain are completely insufficient, as has been recognized by the world of culture, even leaving certain sectors, such as publishing or music, certainly unprotected and displaced. Other neighboring countries, such as the United Kingdom, have already announced important measures to help the cultural sector, such as the reduction of VAT on public shows, "so we will not understand the refusal of the Government of Spain to lower VAT, even temporarily.

, to help the sector and give oxygen to the sector as long as normality is not resumed in cultural shows ", Burrueco concluded.
