The occupation is the second in six months and comes just days after Isabelle Neuschwander, the National Archives director, was dismissed from her position by the Ministry of Culture reportedly over her support for the Archives’ cause. The four trade union confederations representing the Archives have called the situation an “unprecedented social crisis”.
