Overnight French unrest carried over from the burning of Limoges town hall, with editors describing overwhelmed police, looting of luxury stores in Marseille and arson. By midday the focus moved from scenes to state response, as papers reported planned curfews for minors in northern cities, harsh punishments and Macron's pledge of severity, while Welt, FAZ and Bild debated failed integration, loss of legitimacy and an armed alliance.
By late afternoon attention returned to Berlin, following the red-green-red exploratory agreement. The SPD state board and then the Greens voted to enter formal coalition talks, shifting coverage to the contents of the paper, above all the Vergesellschaftung paragraph for up to 160,000 flats and a proposed voting right without German passport, which Welt, Spiegel and jurists cited as legally and fiscally unworkable.
