Elisabeth Borne begins her first overseas trip to La Réunion, greeted at the airport by demonstrators opposing the pension reform. After wreath-laying at the Monument of the Dead in Saint-Denis, the Prime Minister visits a project for tipping water (underground aqueduct) and inaugurates a France Service house in the town of Salazie, in the center of the island. "You may have noticed that we had a rather busy parliamentary agenda", the head of government replied to a journalist who asked her why she had to wait a year before visiting the French Overseas, "but I am very happy to be able to spend three days in La Réunion, to sweep away all the concerns".
