Pension protesters prompt first complete closure of Louvre since demonstrations began on December 5
It is the first time since the protest movement began on December 5 that the Louvre and the Leonardo exhibit were fully closed. About 30,000 people visit the museum every day.
Some videos on social media showed angry visitors booing at protesters to express their disappointment. The weeks of strikes and protests have hobbled public transportation and disrupted schools, hospitals, courthouses and even opera houses and the Eiffel tower. Major French retailers Fnac Darty and Casino said that business in France was badly affected by the strikes, especially during the holiday season.Casino cut its forecast for earnings growth in France, where it does more than half its business, to 5 percent in 2019, from a previous 10 percent. The company estimates that the strikes in December cost it about $88 million in lost revenue.
