La grève, the strike is the most popular answer in France when it comes to contest political or organisational decisions. No discussions, no argumentation, just strike. The latest strike is the one of the Maîtrise Notre-Dame in Paris. Following the procedure of dismissals deemed abusive, the singers cancelled the Christmas concert and all upcoming activities. Anyway, the choir was severely affected by the fire at Notre-Dame, which caused the loss of a quarter of its operating budget.
