Mannheim (dpa) - Comedian Bülent Ceylan (44) is promoting more support for the cultural scene in times of Corona.
“It's about many not yet so prominent artists or technicians and the many families who are behind them.
It will be difficult to feed them if they are not allowed to work for months, ”he said at the start of the“ KulturGut ”charity campaign.
We help the creative ”of the“ Mannheimer Morgen ”(Wednesday).
Attention alone might help some.
“After all, since the first lockdown in mid-March, cultural workers have been given the feeling that they are much less important than planes or cars.
It doesn't feel good, ”Ceylan said.
Financial aid from the federal government, for example, could not compensate for the losses that have arisen since mid-March, the Mannheimer told the newspaper.
“And in many federal states, the emergency aid has so far not taken effect: there are a lot of self-employed people on and behind the stage.
They have no operating expenses, they don't pay office rent or anything, just lost earnings. "
They would still have to live on something and pay for the apartment.
