The popular European drama festival is held annually in Lille in northern France, and has this year drawn its largest number of delegates to date. But the event’s usually tranquil city setting has taken an unexpected turn amid national turmoil in France due to President Emmanuel Macron’s controversial pension reform.
Protests in major French cities such as Paris, Bordeaux, Marseille, Lyon and Lille intensified this week after the government survived two no-confidence votes. Elsewhere, crippling transit strikes are also impacting attendees. Some delegates booked to leave Lille for London via train on Thursday night, which is the final day of the Forum, received alerts from Channel Tunnel rail operator Eurostar on Tuesday notifying them of canceled train services due to mass strikes that are set to take place across France on Thursday.
