The president of the Culture and Media Commission of the National Assembly, Vezhdi Rashidov, said that he would request a meeting with the Prime Minister due to the mismanagement of galleries and museums by the Ministry of Culture and especially with the Red House. , the home of the great Bulgarian sculptor Andrey Nikolov. He told BNT directly that he regretted having proposed Boil Banov to become a minister and that Boyko Borissov should decide whether to request his resignation.
“I understand that you are renting. It is a crime and you have already crossed all limits. The Red House is my cause. There is no place in the world to debate Rodin’s house. Monet’s house is not for debate, the house of Brancusi, for Calder, for Picasso is not for debate. Only Andrei Nikolov, the patriarch of Bulgarian sculpture. Someone is debating there. Everything else may be, but not a museum, but it is intended to be a museum. The ministry crossed borders and this time I enter the game. Andrei Nikolov’s spirit must calm down. This is his house, this house should become a museum house, “said Rashidov.
He said that because of this he would probably have a serious conversation with the prime minister, although he was “burning his head” during the pandemic. When asked if he would ask for Boil Banov’s resignation, the GERB MP replied that only Borisov had the right to make this decision.
“But I will inform the prime minister that this is just crossing borders, I just don’t understand what this ministry is for, it just overflows the glass.” Some people are sitting and playingI’m sorry to say it, but I won’t stop saying it anymore. Unfortunately, I owe the Prime Minister and the public a huge apology for the choice I gave him, this is my great sin, I was wrong, I take responsibility for it. Sorry, I can no longer do it, I am a sculptor, my soul does not accept what is happening. The direction of the ministry will explain to me that there were co-owners there and that it was difficult to become a museum, so everything else is possible, but it is intended for a museum. This is Andrei Nikolov’s personal will. Someone has to ask the question: whether it serves Bulgarian culture or interests“said the former Minister of Culture, obviously considering Banov.
“I stopped the privatization of the Red House and they threatened me. And they threatened me from Vienna that there would be protests every day … I will not donate anything to this country if they steal something from the people who donate every time,” he continued. announced that he had collected Nikolov’s discarded works.
According to Rashidov, culture has been in a small collapse for a long time, because there is not enough money for cultural policy. He also commented on the situation with independent artists.
“The liberal professions are not the officials who work in the cultural institutions and all the structures that are connected to the state. Free professions are the engine of culture. – that machine for which there are cultural institutions. These people need as much right now as everyone else for a simple reason: whoever was born to make art is destiny for him. There is no crisis that prevents me from making art, there is no such crisis. Culture is always a product of the drama one experiences. During cataclysms, wars, natural disasters, the strongest works in the world were born. “
Rashidov added that culture is a luxury whim and asked when the economy collapses, how are we going to talk about culture? According to him, cultural events should recover slowly like everything else, like restaurants, like factories. Culture in the wake of this entire economy will awaken.
He also commented that Lately, the Ministry of Culture has been talking about culture as a theater ministry..
“Televisions have also become television rooms. Culture has a broader spectrum. I don’t see great Bulgarian artists, great Bulgarian poets and writers. Composers are also in the same shadow,” added Rashidov. According to him, we will reap the benefits of these people being in the shadows.
