We hope you were able (more or less) to enjoy your weekend.

We spent these two days checking the news.

And it's time to sum it all up.

1. Bruno Le Maire remains focused on pensions

The Minister of the Economy assured this Sunday in an interview with the

JDD

that the pension reform remained at the top of the list of reforms to be carried out. It even remains "the priority", although we do not know the timetable. "It will be necessary (...) to continue structural reforms: the priority is pensions," he said. Saturday, François Bayrou (MoDem) had also judged "inevitable" to lead the pension reform. This week, Emmanuel Macron relaunched the subject, judging that the reform could not be resumed “as is” but warning that he would not hesitate to make “difficult” decisions by the 2022 presidential election.

2. Venice rediscovers its cruises

After a 17-month interruption due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Venice is reopening its lagoon to cruises.

But opponents of the presence of these sea monsters in the famous Italian lagoon remain.

The MSC Orchestra, which arrived empty Thursday from the Greek port of Piraeus, left with around 650 passengers, who had to present a negative test dating back less than 4 days and undergo a new test to be able to board.

They were 2,571 the day before and 3,028 a week ago

3. Two deadly attacks in Burkina-Faso and Nigeria

At least 160 people were killed in a jihadist attack in northern Burkina Faso overnight from Friday to Saturday.

This is the heaviest toll, revised upwards this Sunday, for a single attack since the start of jihadist violence in the country in 2015. "Faced with this tragedy of the dark forces, a national mourning of 72 hours" of June 5 at midnight to Monday June 7 at 11:59 p.m. has been decreed by the government.

In Nigeria, a new assessment of the cattle thieves attack carried out this Sunday shows 88 dead.

It could get even heavier, with many residents missing, police said.

The facts unfolded Thursday.

For the past ten years or so, criminal groups have terrorized the populations of northwestern and central Nigeria.
