A group of French protesters expressed their rejection Wednesday of the government’s pension reform plan inside the Louvre Museum.
The trade union General Labor Confederation (CGT)’s culture branch, CGT-Culture shared a video on Twitter of the protest.
The video shows a group waving CGT flags and chanting: “We will go until the withdrawal (of the reform project)” as they walked through the halls of the museum.
Nationwide demonstrations were held Tuesday in Paris and other cities for the sixth time since January after the pension reform plan triggered public outrage when it was announced last year.
Trade unions decided to extend the walkouts and demonstrations by mobilizing women’s groups on March 8 and youth groups on March 9.
They have also set new mobilization days for March 11 and 15, in a statement released on Twitter.
The contested plan includes raising the retirement age from 62 to 64 in 2030 and requires at least 43 years of work to be eligible for full pensions.
