Morning editorial priority in France centered on the escalating transatlantic crisis following the death of Alex Pretti. Editors tracked Donald Trump’s accusations of Democratic 'chaos' in Minneapolis and his subsequent dispatch of immigration advisor Tom Homan to the city, framing the event as a direct challenge to local governance and European strategic autonomy. By midday, the focus shifted to the domestic judicial sphere with the opening of the trial against Senator Joël Guerriau. Outlets prioritized the emotional testimony of MP Sandrine Josso and clinical evidence regarding high MDMA levels, treating the case as a landmark moment for the legal recognition of chemical submission. Simultaneously, media reported a 'major state failure' involving contaminated infant formula recalls. The evening cycle was dominated by the National Assembly’s vote to ban social media for minors under fifteen. This legislative milestone shared the headlines with Rachida Dati’s municipal campaign launch on BFMTV and the military confirmation of the identification of Ran Gvili, the final hostage in Gaza.
