Italy to allow travel to and from abroad from June 3

13 Sept 09:54 Key points summarised by AI

Italy's government approved a decree to lift all travel restrictions, permitting movement to and from abroad and across regions starting June 3.
This decision signifies a major step in unwinding one of the world's most rigid coronavirus lockdowns, implemented since March.
The measure aims to revive the nation's economy and salvage the crucial summer vacation season, despite Italy's significant COVID-19 death toll.
The lifting of travel curbs follows a gradual reopening plan, with shops and inter-regional travel set to resume earlier in May, all under strict safety protocols.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
