Gabriel Attal presided over the ceremony commemorating the abolition of slavery in La Rochelle on Friday. “For too long, a veil has been cast over this past”. “Acknowledging it doesn’t mean weakening; on the contrary, it means growing,” he added. “As long as there has been slavery, there has been resistance” and “on this May 10th, it is also this spirit of resistance that I wish to salute”.
