“The Timiş County Council withdraws the artist Christian Pomogači from the festival-competition “Gelu Stan” 2023. The county institution does not participate in the selection of artists participating in the events of subordinate cultural institutions, but, as an exception, the controversial presence of the artist Christian Pomogači on the poster of the event and the invitation to participate in the Gelu Stan Contest Festival 2023 was carefully analyzed and it was decided to remove any association with the reputation of the above-mentioned artist,” – Timis. This was announced by the district council on Saturday.
The “Gelu Stan” festival-competition is being held for the 5th time and is dedicated to young performers of popular music who are starting their careers.
