ENRIQUE MENDEZ, ROBERTO GARDUÑO

President Felipe Calderón proposed to the House of Representatives a budget for culture, in real terms is lower in 2 billion pesos to that exercised in the last year of Vicente Fox

The cuts affect substantive areas and projects of the National Council Culture and the Arts (CNCA), the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), Fine Arts (INBA), the Mexican Film (Imcine), dance companies, as well as Eleven and 22 channels of television .

President of the Culture Committee of the House, Emilio Ulloa Pérez, reported that this constitutes''a blow to the culture that condemns artistic expression and research to privatization, and state television to compete against the worst television duopoly. "

By knowing the amounts that the Executive presented to the legislature for the culture sector, the PRD legislator questioned that while cultural institutions''are punished, the Army is awarded precisely to 2 billion dollars for wage increase. " Fewer resources

in 2006

In an interview,''the deputy Ulloa considered unacceptable in the cultural area, the federal government sent a smaller budget than in 2006, equivalent of 30 percent "and that is the main effect since the 2004 budget sent by Fox led to a fall of 14.54 percent in spending for the field.

more restrictions than Fox

For example, in the INAH his budget would agree with the draft Calderon sent 2 000 374 000 000 888 000 767 pesos exercised during 2006, a thousand 899 000 000 577 000 429 pesos, which means a decrease of 475 million pesos, excluding the impact of inflation.

The main effect of this economic downturn is reflected, explained, in the areas of research and dissemination areas archaeologist, area in which gaps exist by itself, and said one of the most representative is that Guerrero, with 700 thousand pre-Hispanic sites, only two archaeologists assigned.

He said that the INBA requested a budget allocation of 2 000 385 million pesos for their substantive, but the project turned over by Calderón to the camera only considers thousand 606 million pesos. While this year's budget was approved thousand 495 million pesos, then transfers are considered almost 600 million pesos, so that real spending was 2 billion 200 million pesos.

''This reduction will result in further deterioration of educational infrastructure priority projects, the conservation of artistic heritage, the activities of dance companies, and even beat her to the clergy, because they have an effect on conservation religious art and buildings in the hands of the Catholic Church, "he said.

In the case of Imcine, said the cut of 50 million dollars raised by the Federation to its budget this institution''condemns to failure because it spends 246 million dollars in the last year of Fox, to 202 million pesos, which will have an impact on the national film production, recruitment of new filmmakers and encouraging. "Disdain

government, however, will be the most affected CNCA therefore face a cut of approximately 700 million pesos, from a budget of 2 billion pesos this year, a thousand 300 million pesos for 2007.

The Commission Culture anticipated that this will affect the cultural infrastructure projects and investment tripartite states and municipalities, the National System of Creators and artists, promoting arts and culture, record keeping and documentation of artwork in the country, and the latter''facilitate the theft and looting of property "national.

Alejandro Pohlenz said he would also be jeopardized operation Eleven and 22 channels of television, by allocating resources''insignificant, that will leave no capacity compete with the television duopoly, which Calderón will be the time you spent on the campaign trail. "

In short, he said, is a budget that reflects a contempt for government in this sector, it is not considered essential for development and end''become a caricature, which can only access the private capital that will make to culture for pirrurris , and not for the rabble. "
