Ie message has passed. The Minister of Public Accounts, Gabriel Attal, pleaded Thursday, March 2 for “respect” at the opening of the debates in the Senate on the pension reform, ensuring that the upper house was “not a ZAD”, an allusion to the tumultuous exchanges that preceded the National Assembly.

“I know that here we debate, we respect each other. I know that here there is no ZAD, there is only the Republic”, declared the minister in front of the Senate, with a majority on the right. “We are open to compromise between the senatorial majority which embodies the will for reform and the presidential majority which bears the responsibility for the reform”, he assured.
