Frantz Gumbs questions the minister on the lack of state resources 

0

A month after the opening of the XNUMXth legislature, Frantz Gumbs asked his first written question to the government, precisely to the Minister of Culture. The deputy of Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy wanted to draw the attention of Rima Abdul Malak "in the field of culture" of the constituency. 

“Culture is central and is found in multitudes of meeting places between actors and in various sectors. However, the involvement of the State in projects in the cultural sector remains relatively weak,” he notes.

According to the parliamentarian, one of the main reasons for this situation is the establishment of the department of cultural affairs in the region of Guadeloupe and the non-relocation of a branch to Saint-Martin and Saint-Barth despite their status as a community. “The remoteness of the DAC therefore does not facilitate the taking into account of projects emanating from [the] constituency in view of the strong demands on the territory of Guadeloupe. The management of cultural action of the Saint-Martin community has initiated many projects aimed at promoting the historical and cultural heritage of the territory, but hardly benefits from the support of the services of the DAC”, reports Frantz Gumbs.

The historical heritage of the two islands being "assets which contribute to the local economy" and their economy having "suffered heavily from the passage in 2017 of cyclone Irma", the deputy considers "necessary to allocate means, at least in proportion to the populations, in order to promote a more sustainable economy". He thus asks the minister “what measures she plans to take in order to compensate for the lack of human and financial resources in order to further promote culture in Saint-Barthélemy and Saint-Martin”.

Published in the official journal of the Republic on July 26, the question has not yet received an answer. (soualigapost.com)
