Berlin Mayor Kai Wegner of the CDU is not hardening his plan to cut 12 percent from the city’s art spend.

He says: ‘I think we have to get away from the mentality of ‘we need money from the state’. I also expect our theatres and opera houses to explain exactly how they can operate more economically and with their own resources. This is a task that applies to all of us – regardless of which area we work in.’
