2. DAD at 1376

a) The Vatican’s ‘Pro-Life Body’ has lost Its way. When abortion is treated as an unquestionable ‘right,’ even the Vatican’s Pontifical Academy for Life no longer requires its scholars to be pro-life.

b) France: Presidential Election 2027. The Jockeying for position commences. Gabriel Attal mentions an agreement with Édouard Philippe to withdraw in the event of a “risk” of a second round between LFI and the RN.

c) Immigration is often presented as a solution to demographic aging and the need to finance pensions. A study by Philippe Lemoine, research director at the Hexagone Observatory, consulted by Le Figaro, challenges this idea and argues that its effect on the ratio of working-age adults to seniors remains limited….

d) France. Crime against Aged Ladies, in their homes, is increasing. An 80-year-old woman was attacked at gunpoint in her home on Tuesday, May 5, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, Le Figaro learned from a source close to the investigation.
