Abstract

Plaid Cymru's manifesto for the election prominently addresses culture and heritage, reflecting the party's aspiration for greater devolution and recognition of cultural institutions in fostering identity and pride. The manifesto highlights the critical risk faced by cultural organizations, with a 30% decrease in arts funding from national bodies since 2017—the highest cuts in the UK. Plaid Cymru pledges to safeguard Wales's national collections for future generations, funded through a revised financial formula from Westminster and increased taxation on the wealthiest. Notably, the manifesto includes a decolonization agenda with a Welsh national perspective, aligning with Plaid's goal to protect and promote Wales's cultural heritage.
