In Spain, in 2012, the culture gives work to 508.700 people, that is to say about 2.8% of the active population. Moreover, some of them are internationally famous. Only in Cataluña, in 2012, the Sonar festival hosted more than 100.000 people and the Primavera sound (electro avant-garde festival) hosted over 150.000. Until today in this domain Spain was able to have balance accounts and to generate work in its own way. Co-director of Apollo’s venue in Barcelona and of the Primavera sound, Alberto Guijarro, declares: “With this VAT we won’t be able to enter the competition”. He then said about the accounts: “With a sold out concert the benefits are between 10 and 15%. After this change, we will only be able to make a 7% benefit. Our sector is a sector of high risks. We will witness the disappearance of many enterprises”. In Madrid, great Spanish names have joined the movement, as for instance Javier Bardem or Pedro Almodovar, who are currently shooting Las amantes pasajeras. They proclaim that it is an attack against Democracy. The actor Carlos Bardem, 49 year-old, was proudly showing a board that said: “They do not want culture because they do not want the people to be free but obedient”. The editor of Anagrama editorial, José Herralde, declares that it is “a painful agony that will end by closedowns in the film, the theatre and the book industry”. Writer Clara Sanchez, 57 year-old, declares that “there is no protection against a miserable culture”. Young actor Martin Rivas, 27 year-old, displays a board with: “This is a suicide for the country. And the funeral has to be paid by the culture”. From everywhere they shout that “culture is not a luxury”. If, on the 1^st of September, the VAT is raised to 21%, Spanish culture will begin mourning for the artists that will be commanded to leave the stage. What will remain from the 507.000 jobs? New unemployed people. Do the experts that decided on such a measure want to push Spain in a nameless abyss?
