French media extensively highlighted the escalating judicial scrutiny of the Rassemblement National. The morning brought perquisitions at the party's headquarters, tied to investigations into campaign financing and "patriotic loans." This significant legal pressure culminated in the afternoon with the European Court of Human Rights upholding Marine Le Pen's ineligibility sentence, further challenging the party. Concurrently, southern wildfires remained a priority, with the major blaze near Marseille reported as "fixed" by early afternoon, marking a turning point from the previous day's escalation. As the evening unfolded, the Club World Cup semi-final between PSG and Real Madrid seized editorial attention, providing live updates on PSG's dominant offensive performance.
