Scandal in Lucerne's cultural funding
Martin Jann, head of cultural promotion in the canton of Lucerne, has resigned just months after taking up his post. According to the canton, one of the reasons for this was a difference of opinion regarding the scope for action in cantonal cultural promotion.
In a brief communiqué, the canton also writes that Jann resigned from his position within the probationary period. He had been head of cantonal cultural promotion since September 1, 2014.
The reasons for the withdrawal were "in addition to the different views on the role of the cultural commissioner, in particular the existing scope for action in cantonal cultural promotion". The position will be advertised at the beginning of 2015.
