French media on September 1st began with Prime Minister Bayrou's efforts to secure support for the confidence vote amidst deep opposition, and the challenging 'rentrée scolaire' marked by severe weather delays and acknowledged teacher shortages. However, a new international incident quickly seized editorial attention mid-morning: Ursula von der Leyen's plane experienced GPS jamming over Bulgaria, with Russia suspected of interference. This geopolitical development became a dominant focus across sources, momentarily shifting emphasis from domestic political discussions. As the day progressed, Bayrou's budget battle intensified, with Marine Le Pen and Fabien Roussel rejecting his proposals, and his "tax dumping" comments sparked a diplomatic spat with Italy. Concurrently, the SCO summit, where Xi Jinping staged an anti-Trump front with Putin and Modi, gained prominence. The 'rentrée scolaire' continued to feature prominently, with reports of widespread strikes due to staffing and class issues.
