The Federal Palace Media Center was officially opened today in the presence of President Moritz Leuenberger, Rolf Büttiker, President of the Council of States, and around 200 guests. The 100-year-old "journalists' room" in the parliament building was thus abolished and the spatial separation of media professionals on the one hand and the Federal Assembly and parliamentary services on the other was finally completed.
The renovation of the buildings at Bundesgasse 8-12 cost CHF 42.5 million - excluding SRG investments - and took around two and a half years. The media trade union Comedia was also present, whose representatives distributed hand-held fans to the journalists at the Bundeshaus - to at least symbolically ease their difficult working conditions, as Comedia writes in a press release.
