The Curse of the Cultural Youth Bonus: Now Companies Are Complaining



It cannot be said that the application of the Youth Cultural Scholarship is going smoothly. If there were countless complaints during the registration period of the beneficiaries due to the complexity of the procedures and because of the failure of the web that enabled the implementation of the procedure, now it is the cultural companies that denounce the various problems, both to adhere to the initiative and with the operating system for users to use the card. The Llibreters and Cinemes de Catalunya unions confirm the discontent among many of their associates. They know that unease is a national issue in their branches.

Maria Marin, technical secretary of the Gremi de Lliberters, sums up the dissatisfaction in two points: the slow resolution of the files to register as a company linked to the cultural youth bonus and the errors of the mechanism created so that it can be used. That is, data already registered companies that do not recognize the user’s auxiliary cards, with consequent frustration for some and others.

The Ministry of Culture and Sports acknowledges that this technical glitch occurred in “specific cases” while Gremi de Lliberters raises the injury to “a large percentage” of its subsidiaries.

The ministry confirms that the problem has already been resolved, and the association clarifies that it has been informed that this is the case since last Monday, but adds that it has not yet had time to verify among members whether the problem has been resolved or not.

“This week the member entities and companies were reminded of the importance of registering and reviewing all the data required for the correct operation of the Youth Cultural Reward,” adds the department headed by Mikel Eseta. He continues: “Entities and affiliates must submit their Point of Sale (POS) data on the Youth Cultural Voucher Platform. Any failure or error when recording that information effectively prevents payment ”

Gremi de Lliberters praises the Cultural Reward for Youth, a promotional policy aimed at a “critical age in cultural consumption,” as Marin puts it. However, the Technical Secretary laments that “the good initiative & rdquor; is hampered by problems in your application. “If the Ministry had worked more closely with the cultural sectors, everything would have been easier.”
