Police To Go On Strike At Cannes
11 May 2006While French labor activists have frequently timed noisy demonstrations or
strikes to take place during the Cannes Film Festival in their bids for maximum
exposure, police have effectively maintained order during them. Now it is the
police themselves who are planning to stage a strike during the festival. The
BBC reported Wednesday that a two-hour strike, set to take place on May 19 --
two days after the festival opens -- could disrupt security arrangements for
the numerous high-profile guests expected to attend on that day. The police
demonstration is scheduled to take place outside the event's main venue, the
Palais de Festivals. A second walkout could occur four days later.
