The Louvre Museum in Paris partially reopened today, despite the strike that employees voted for at a general meeting held earlier in the day. A museum spokesperson said, 'Not all sections are available, but the museum is open and is currently receiving the first visitors.' Shortly before that, about 300 striking employees, protesting against understaffing and the deterioration of the building, voted to extend the strike for a second day in a row after it began on Monday. Louvre workers, the most visited museum in the world, voted to extend the strike. Union workers are protesting against ongoing understaffing, the deterioration of the building, recent administrative decisions, and increasing pressure after the theft the museum suffered last October. The decision was made during a general assembly in the morning, after the employees unanimously adopted the strike decision at the beginning of this week.
