<p>Dear community,</p>
<p>the latest political developments in Austria led to a rise of the
ultra right FPÖ party, which took the lead in the regional
government in Styria by the end of last year. Now they are
pursuing a massive cut of the cultural budget and decided suddenly
to remove the independent jury, which was responsible for funding
decisions, with a party-controlled gremium. This move appears to
be directed especially against the independent art scene in
Styria, and is meant to silence political voices the FPÖ does not
want to hear.</p>
<p>mur.at has been active in Styria since 25 years. We as an
independent server project and net art platform live at the heart
of our region's cultural scene. All of us will be affected by
those measures massively. What is struck down by one decision,
cannot be repaired! This is why I am asking you to join us in
protest: please help and sign the open letter you find below! We
need urgent public action and pressure also from international
voices to prevent a massive damage to the whole cultural
landscape in our region, which in turn will have an impact on the
art scene of Austria and beyond.<br>
</p>
<p>Greetings,</p>
<p>Margarethe<br>
