END OF THE SOCIAL CONFLICT AT THE POMPIDOU CENTER

"The Center Pompidou is a unique place of art and culture in the French and international cultural landscape, to which all our fellow citizens and its agents care first and foremost. I am happy to announce, today, the signing, between the Center Pompidou and the trade union organizations, SPCP-FO and CFDT-Culture, of the memorandum of understanding, relating to the support of the teams during the work which will be carried out between 2025 and 2030 thanks to the support of the State.



As soon as I arrived at the Ministry of Culture, I wanted to put an end to this bogged-down situation. One hundred days of strike is unprecedented in the history of the Center Pompidou. I thank the agents and management for their spirit of responsibility.
I am also delighted that the agents can continue their work in peace, with the support of their managers, so that the Center Pompidou continues to open its doors to many visitors. This agreement provides guarantees to Center Pompidou agents in anticipation of the closure of the main building for work from mid-2025.



Finally, I would like to pay tribute to the spirit of responsibility of all the stakeholders who wanted to be respected and heard, which I did.



I will always be alongside this exceptional establishment that is the Center Pompidou, its agents and its management." The French Minister of Culture Rachida Dati stated.
