Social security budget: the Senate releases three billion in reductions in employer contributions
The government hoped to free up 4 billion euros by cutting back on reductions in employer contributions, the Senate approved an agreement on a reduction of three billion euros.
After several hours of intense debate on this reform which bristles the employers and the Macronist camp, the upper house, dominated by the right and the centrists, adopted an intermediate measure compared to the government's proposal, which initially aimed for a return of four billion euros to finance Social Security.

Dominique Pelicot: “Without me, they would not be there and without them, I would not be there”

Additional information: No more coffee in many French McDonald's… for technical reasons
If you were hoping to warm up with a coffee at McDonald's, you may have encountered an embarrassed refusal from the waiters this Tuesday. Since this morning, in several hundred McDonald's restaurants in France, such as on the outskirts of Metz (Moselle), it is impossible to buy a coffee or a hot drink.
The cause: a technical problem in the pressure of the machines, which led the fast food group to remove the equipment. There are no quality or health safety issues, McDonald's would like to reassure. Just a difficulty with the tools.
