“We said that, first of all, we should take into account the principle of local autonomy. You cannot intervene from the central level to say what local authorities can and cannot do, how much they should spend on culture, sports, religion, etc. Therefore, it cannot be accepted. This percentage of 2.5% should disappear from the project, because it means that you have interfered with the local government,” said Kelemen.

The leader of UDMR noted that “we are talking about local taxes and fees and it is not possible to impose what percentage can be given for certain types of activities.”

“The electorate is responsible and holds accountable local elected officials, not the Ministry of Finance. Therefore, performance criteria cannot be established, secondly, from the central level for local authorities for local authorities. It is not possible for local elected officials to set criteria from the central level, and I said that this provision should disappear from the draft,” he added. .

“This would mean that you don’t understand the cultural phenomenon, you don’t understand how cultural institutions, district museums, local history museums, theaters, philharmonics work, and you can’t connect their folklore ensemble with the district museum and library. with the theater Cultural institutions should be released,” the UDMR leader emphasized.
