The minister particularly insisted on the “discussion without taboos but without preconditions” desired by François Bayrou. Astrid Panosyan-Bouvet also wants “fair and reasonable accommodations”, particularly regarding “challenging careers”. “There is something to be said about the arduousness and careers of women […]these are the subjects that must be put on the table,” she explained, while assuming that “it [faille] all know ».
