Buenos Aires, Mar 26 (EFE) .- (Camera: Javier Castro) After a year of pandemic and with a bleak future, the theater around the world is experiencing one of its worst crises, but the illusion and resilience of this group have prevented its collapse. With new formulas and determination, the curtain continues to rise, albeit in a symbolic way.FOOTAGE OF THEATRES IN BUENOS AIRESSOUNDBITES OF ROBERTO BISOGNO, PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINE ASSOCIATION OF THEATER EMPRESARIESTRANSLATIONThe commercial circuit is dying, it is an activity that has lost 95% of its annual turnover, it is a terminal situation. Some theaters are open in a testimonial way because we want to work but we are at a loss. It would have been less expensive to close and collect state aid. Some, when they open, begin to bill a little and that means that some aid is not received. Now we also receive aid despite being open, but it is insufficient aid, it is not enough. I do not want to sound too pessimistic but it will be very difficult to regain the public, regain normality. I can only speculate, we will see, I hope the second wave does not come and we can continue to recover viewers day by day
Rome (Italy), Jan 14 (EFE), (Camera: Álvaro Padilla).- Italy's far-right Thursday urged the government to find an urgent solution to the country's political crisis.SOUNDBITES OF MATTEO SALVINI, NORTHERN LEAGUE LEADER: "It is not possible that Italians do not know whether or not there is a government. I repeat: we are facing a health emergency, schools are closed, also businesses, new taxes are going to be applied and it is not known whether or not we have a government. Let Conte come to Parliament today and resign at the Quirinal. If there is a majority that governs we will do our part and, if there is not a majority, we will return confidence to the citizens as we have requested since last year. As you remember, last year we said that this was a majority that would fight over everything and would go home soon. It has taken a year and they have done nothing." "Either there is a team that governs for two years or, he repeats, let's give the word to Italians."
