Before the Cultural Committee's meeting next week, it is proposed that six libraries be closed down, various activities such as summer entertainment, culture night and cultural summer jobs are on the savings list. In addition, they want to cut back on support for the School of Culture and withdraw the grant for film in the West.

"I see it as horrifying and absolutely devastating for Gothenburg's culture," says Grith Fjeldmose, opposition politician and other vice chairman of the cultural committee.

Comprehensive savings requirements

But that does not agree with the chairman of the cultural committee.

- I do not think it is such a big savings, but now we have to bring home the deficit that has existed before. This is part of this, says Ann Catrine Fogelgren (L), alliance politician and chair of the Gothenburg Cultural Committee.

It is an extensive kick-off requirement from the alliance that is behind this and the officials who propose the reductions write that they will have negative consequences for the Gothenburg citizens.
