After some criticism for the cache that Lali Esposito and Daniela Mercury will charge For appearing at the “Here We Are” festival, which will take place this Sunday and which is organized by the Municipality of Montevideo, Mayor Carolina Cosse, maintained that there are “reasonings of doubtful validity.”
“I have seen that there are some reasonings that establish that what the cost of the cache of an artist It is equivalent to such a thing or to that other, and I want to say that these are arguments of dubious validity, if we want democracy and progress to progress“She said this Friday at a press conference in which she was accompanied by most of the artists who will perform at the festival.
Cosse maintained that, in addition to the festival, the Municipality also works in the most needy neighborhoods, working on streets, infrastructure, squares. health, its support for food, has just received an international award for its policy of promoting healthy eating, along with four other cities”, he highlighted.
“So, actually when one develops a comprehensive plan for Montevideo, or for any place, one cannot go around comparing ‘this costs me half of this, or the other’. Policies develop and they all go together”remarked the mayor.
“Because culture is not just about shows. When we put together a program with a hundred women who don’t have work to train them with a ten-month program so they learn all the corners of biology to manage the land and then end up building gardens on the land vacant lots that we expropriated, that’s culture, that’s a cultural policy too. And it’s all done at the same time,” he said.
“The final cost of this I do not know, but what I do know is that the investment we make in culture is returned to us multiplied by the population“Cose finished.
