"Tonight, there is neither winner nor vanquished," tweeted Friday Elisabeth Borne, after the validation of the pension reform by the Constitutional Council. In a thread of five tweets, the head of government considers that "to preserve (the) pay-as-you-go system, this reform requires efforts from the French who can" The government also believes that this decision marks "the end of the institutional and democratic process" of the reform.

"The will of the government is now to continue the consultation with the social partners," said the statement.
