The dispute between the Minister of Culture and the actors is once again one of the topics of the day. Juraj Loj (40) is also among the loud critics of the current conditions. He shared it on his social network statement by Minister Martina Šimkovičová. “A handful wants to tell the nation how to live and what to think,” was the statement. “So much self-reflection… Who would have said that to you, Martinka…” the actor commented.

A few days ago, Martina Šimkovičová (nom. SNS) dressed as actors from the CISwho read a statement about the Cultural Strike after each performance. She commented on their words on the social network.
“I’m just reminding you that they are employees of the state theater, paid from state money. Interesting that they want to continue receiving salaries. State money, that is, the money of all of us, does not bother them and neither does what they talk about, so obviously not so much that they would give up their income. By the way, there are also opera singers, ballet artists, and orchestra members in SND. However, none of them, apart from the actors, bothers the audience after the performance,” criticized Šimkovičová and also mentioned former SND director Matej Drlička, whom she dismissed in August.
“Then they stand again on the stages of the National Theater and harass the audience with their effusions for months. They serve foreigners. They read what they can get their hands on and pretend to be free beings with their own opinions and attitudes. They talk about censorship, the end of democracy, threats to culture – without any facts. They thus serve for any regime,” said the head of the department to the actors.
Her words touched the actors and they asked the minister for evidence that “they should be paid from abroad”.
