“The Olympics must be a party, it must be a magical moment for those who love sport and therefore, it is out of the question to make neither this type of threat nor this type of action during the Olympics”said Laurent Berger during an interview on France 2.

“Trade unionism has an image that has been restored in this period, it has assumed its share of responsibility, we have said things frankly, sometimes a little harshly, we have never crossed the yellow line. We come out rather grown from this period, I am not for us to bother the proper functioning of the Olympics “he added.
Several threatened events
The union official was questioned about the emergence of calls on social networks threatening to disrupt the 2024 Olympics in the event of the government maintaining the pension reform law, with in particular the rise of the hashtag #PasDeRetraitPasDeJo on Twitter.
Some Internet users are calling for a mass strike and the blocking of construction sites, then of tests. Others are urging opponents of pension reform to sign up to be among the 45,000 volunteers in a bid to “don’t go there” or of “disorganize everything”.

The Games are not the only event targeted. Still on social networks, some also call for blocking the final of the French Football Cup, the Cannes Film Festival (May 16 to 27), the Roland-Garros tournament (May 28 to June 11), the Tour de France (July) or the Rugby World Cup (September 8 to October 28).
