IMPULSE AN AGRAVIED CULTURAL DISCIPLINE
The mayor of Culture also wanted to remember that "the panorama of dance in Spain is quite disheartening, too sad," since this discipline has been especially aggravated by the cultural policies of recent years at the national level and the rise Of cultural VAT.
