"Reactivate, recover, transform and help give as many opportunities as possible to the cultural sector". These are Catalan Culture Minister Natàlia Garriga's goals. Appearing before the Culture Committee, she explained her department's budget, which had already been made public last November 9: the Generalitat plans to increase its spending on culture by 28.3% (€82.5m) compared to 2020, the last time a budget was approved. The budget for the department stands at €389.4m, which represents 1.3% of the Generalitat's overall budget.
