Like many heritage stakeholders Rachida Dati is opposed to an amendment tabled in the discussion on the 2025 finance bill by RN deputy Jean-Philippe Tanguy, which would aim to remove advertising banners covering heritage sites, and whose revenues finance the restorations that they hide: “to deprive yourself of it would be a serious mistake”believes the minister. But the content of the amendment in no way proposes to remove the tarpaulins authorized by an exemption from the advertising and environment code.
The member simply proposes replacing the expression tarpaulins “comprising a space dedicated to display” by that of “decorative with mention of the patron” : a completely subjective assessment, which will certainly benefit patrons of the luxury sector.
The amendment, however, introduces a change in the allocation of advertising revenue for state-owned buildings: they would be paid to the general state budget and we imagine to the budget of the Mission Culture, and no longer to the public owner. of the site. A proposed change “for reasons of financial admissibility only” specifies the RN deputy in his presentation.
Another front, this one more serious, is opening for the Minister of Culture since according to a draft amendment from the Government, Michel Barnier plans to immediately freeze the precautionary reserve of many ministries including Culture and to reduce the Culture Pass budget.
