Pensions: access to the Louvre museum disrupted by a strike

Pension reform invites itself to the museum. A hundred strikers demonstrate this Friday morning at the entrances of the Louvre in Paris, which prevents visitors from accessing the collections and exhibitions.

“Due to the social strike movement, the opening of the museum may be delayed and some rooms may be exceptionally closed. We apologize and thank you for your understanding, ”said the establishment on its website.

This mobilization takes place at the call of an inter-union CGC, CGT, FSU and SUD as part of the challenge to the pension reform. The "retirement points proposed by the government is only intended to lower the amount of pensions for all," she says.
