The Minister of Territorial Policy, Isabel Rodríguez, has defended the budget that the Government allocates in culture: “We promote this investment with great joy, because Spanish society has gone through moments of great difficulty, because culture is necessary for the soul, culture is industrial and economic promotion and because behind culture there is employment and wealth generation”
Isabel Rodríguez thanked the mayor of Calzada de Calatrava, Gema García Ríos, for the invitation to “enjoy this afternoon of cinema in the birthplace of our most universal director, Pedro Almodóvar, of whom we are very proud, and I, as a Spaniard, as a Castilian-Manchega and almost as a neighbor of Calzada de Calatrava”.
