It was a long bridge weekend.
Of those who make you forget the course of time and the news that passes.
To reconnect you gently from Monday, here is our summary of the last few days, from the incidents in Saint-Denis to the latest events in Ukraine and the Cannes Film Festival awards.
1-Mesh at the Stade de France for the Champions League
Damage and a beautiful mess.
This Saturday at the Stade de France, Real Madrid won their 14th Champions League at the expense of Liverpool (1-0), to settle even higher on the Olympus of European football.
But beyond the match, the whole world will especially remember the monster mess before an organized final.
The kick-off scheduled for 9 p.m. was delayed by 36 minutes due to “late arrivals of supporters in the stadium”.
Blocking of British supporters, intrusions, counterfeit tickets, police charge, families and children sprayed with tear gas.
The sight was appalling.
Not to mention the Liverpool fan zone literally submerged in waste, to the point that the City of Paris wants to charge UEFA.
Two years from the 2024 Olympics, the security of major sporting events in the capital is seriously questioned.
2-Double palms in Cannes for Ruben Ostlund
And two!
He had told
20 Minutes
that he was ready to receive a second Palme d'Or without really believing it.
Ruben Ostlund won the Cannes Film Festival's supreme award with
Without Filter
, a scathing comedy about the influencer business.
The Swedish director had already won the Palme d'or for
The Square
in 2017. "I wanted to shake the public, even shock them, to make them aware of the excesses of our society", he told
20 Minutes
.
A shaken and conquered jury, therefore.
Among the other prizes, a special 75th anniversary given to the Dardenne Brothers.

Joe Biden traveled to the Texas town of Uvalde on Sunday, five days after the elementary school shooting.
Nineteen children and two teachers perished on Tuesday in the Robb school in Uvalde under the bullets of Salvador Ramos, barely 18 years old.
It is one of the worst shootings in recent years in the United States.
“You can't make dramas illegal, I know that.
But we can make America safer, “said the President of the United States on Saturday.
5-16 cases of monkeypox identified in France
France had sixteen "confirmed" cases of infection with the monkeypox virus on Saturday, according to health authorities on Sunday.
Of these sixteen cases, twelve were reported in Ile-de-France, according to figures from Public Health France.
Health Minister Brigitte Bourguignon had indicated earlier this week that the authorities did not expect an "outbreak" of the disease, and that the country had sufficient stocks of vaccines for people who would be in contact.
