The French don't seem to have given up after the promulgation of the law on pension reform. While a day of mobilization is expected on May 1, 2023, on the occasion of Labor Day, and that the railway workers call for a strike on Thursday, April 20, Internet users remain mobilized. With the hashtag #NotFromStrikeNotFromOlympics, they suggest on social networks that the protesters could make the Paris 2024 Olympic Games a failure.
A little over a year from the sporting event of the decade in France, tensions are high in the country and opponents of pension reform seem ready to sabotage the Olympics from within, to demonstrate their discontent. Massive demonstrations, strikes of transport, bad indications to give to the tourists or still"gold medal of throw of pavement", the ideas go well to put at evil the competition, which announces itself very looked at the international.
Some even call for a blocking right now on the building sites of the Olympic sites, notably that of the athletes' village. We also find small actions proposed by some Internet users, as to register to become volunteers during the Games, and not to go there at the end. Before 2024 and its Olympics, others aim rather the notable events which take place this year, in particular Roland-Garros, the Tour de France, the Rugby World Cup, and even the Cannes Film Festival !
