The opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games faces significant disruptions as over 200 dancers have threatened to strike due to grievances over pay disparities and housing conditions. The SFA-CGT union, representing about 10% of the 3,000 performers, rejected a proposed pay increase of 120 euros for the lowest-paid dancers, citing inadequate compensation and a lack of social dialogue from organizers. Dancers protested during rehearsals along the River Seine, echoing historical gestures against inequality, while broader labor unrest looms as various public sector workers also demand bonuses during the event. French officials have reduced attendance estimates due to safety concerns, initially predicting 600,000 spectators. As negotiations continue, the situation remains tense ahead of the ceremony scheduled for July 26, which is set to take place along a six-kilometer stretch of the Seine, a first for the Olympics. Without resolution, the strike could tarnish the Olympic image just as the world turns its attention to Paris.
