The protest of French workers against the pension reform wanted by President Emmanuel Macron does not stop even for Christmas and takes unusual forms: yesterday evening about forty dancers of the Paris Opera, in tutus, gave birth to the fourth act of the Lake of the Swans of Ciakovskij on the steps of the theater . Behind them - French TV shows - a banner informed that "The Paris Opera is on strike" and that "Culture is in danger". Public sector workers in France, including the dancers of the famous theater, go on strike against the reform that would like to cancel forty category pension systems to unify them in a single points mechanism. The dancers of the Parisian Opera can currently retire at 42, thanks to a law dating back to 1698, wanted by King Louis XIV.
