Pedro Sánchez announces subsidy as his Socialist party lags behind conservative People’s party in polls
Pedro Sánchez
The subsidy, announced during a campaign event in the central region of Castilla-La Mancha, comes a year after Sánchez’s minority coalition government introduced ascheme that gives Spaniards turning 18 €400 to spend on books, records, digital subscriptions, festivals, concerts, plays, exhibitions and films.
“Culture needs to be a political commitment for each and every one of the regions, for every town and, of course, for the Spanish government,” said the prime minister. Tensions are already rising ahead of the polls on 28 May – polls that will allow the opposition conservative People’s party to gauge its strength ahead of the general election due to be held in December.
