Answering a question in parliament, caretaker Minister of Culture Maestro Nayden Todorov stated that the National Culture Fund has a staff of only 11, people who have to distribute millions of euro for culture under the Recovery and Resilience Plan. The way culture is administered in Bulgaria is wrong, Minister Todorov went on to say. There is no way the ministry can be an organization financing projects which it has to administer. The National Culture Fund is an organization on which all Bulgarian artists depend, Nayden Todorov said. “Culture is the way people act in the street, culture is the way you behave here. The National Culture Fund has to work in such a way so that the arts in Bulgaria raise the culture of society. Bulgaria doesn’t have a government at the moment because all of you see what separates you, not what brings you together. That too is part of culture,” Minister Nayden Todorov said.
