Parliament: Atmosphere: Electric Session

During the ministers' responses to the backbenchers, the situation escalated. Tensions rose between Deputy Prime Minister Paul Bérenger and the opposition whip, Adrien Duval, as Duval posed additional questions to the Minister of Agro-Industry regarding the dog microchipping campaign. The Speaker, Shirin Aumeeruddy-Cziffra, criticized him for making long comments instead of asking direct questions, a critique that was met with frustration.
