The ceremony of sealing abortion in the Constitution will be historic for two reasons: it is open to the public for the first time, and the Marseillaise, which will be sung there, will be modified.
Singer Catherine Ringer, figure of Rita Mitsouko who will perform the national anthem, has in fact slightly changed the words, according to BFMTV, which attended the rehearsal.
Instead of
“To arms citizens”
, the singer will pronounce the phrase
“To arms citizens”
, in honor of International Women's Rights Day.
