During an interview on TV3 this morning the Catalan minister for Culture and the Media, Joan Manuel Tresserras, said that the Catalan cinema market had not been very successful in the past due to the \u2018hegemony that had maintained the same situation that there had been at the end of Franco\u2019s regime\u2019 \u2013 a situation which he described as a \u2018democratic deficit\u2019 and \u2018anomaly of the cultural system\u2019. <\/p>\n
He said that he could not ignore the \u2018urgent necessity\u2019 in Catalan Culture. He said that the regional government of Catalonia planned to have a draft bill ready by the summer.
