The law has created a new agency with vast and wide-ranging powers to be in charge of coordinating and managing the entire operation. It will also receive all the funds raised by national and international subscriptions; manage all work to the immediate surroundings of the cathedral; establish training programmes for the restorers; [and] implement information programmes to educate the public about the conservation process. — The Art Newspaper
More details regarding the laws and governing structure that will oversee the reconstruction of the Norte Dame Cathedral in Paris have come to light.
According to The Art Newspaper, French president Emmanuel Macron will be the sole official in charge of the rebuilding. Macron, according to the report, will “directly and indirectly control all phases of an operation that would normally be the remit of the ministry of culture.”
The new law will also create a wide-ranging agency that will coordinate the restoration. Much of that coordination will take root through the work of a new government agency created for the task that includes representatives of the French government, the City of Paris, and the Catholic Church. The body, led by “battle-hardened” General Jean-Louis Georgelin who will report directly to president Macron.
