On July 2, German editors focused almost exclusively on the coalition's reform package, announced after overnight negotiations. Morning headlines detailed tax relief for low-to-middle incomes, a higher wealth tax, and the abolition of telephone sick notes. By midday, criticism mounted: the Hausärzteverband called the sick note rules 'absolutely catastrophic,' and outlets like Tagesspiegel and Welt dismissed the package as a 'bonsai reform.' Afternoon coverage shifted to the imminent dismissal of national soccer coach Julian Nagelsmann, with Jürgen Klopp named as successor. The Stade shooting from June 29 resurfaced in Bild's evening report. The day's narrative moved from policy rollout to widespread skepticism, with editors framing the reforms as insufficient for economic revival.
