Share TweetBy the Associated PressDozens of protesters blocked the entrance to the Louvre museum and forced the famous Paris landmark to close Friday while they denounced the French government’s plans to overhaul the pension system. Protesters later chased down President Emmanuel Macron at an evening theater performance in northern Paris. Some videos on social media showed angry visitors booing at museum protesters to express their disappointment. The weeks of strikes and protests have hobbled public transportation and disrupted schools, hospitals, courthouses and even opera houses and the Eiffel tower.
