Chancellor Friedrich Merz's first public appearance after his summer break dominated the day's coverage. Visiting the Eifel wildfire area, he was met with boos and protests, with Bild, RP Online, Spiegel, and FAZ all leading with the event. Merz addressed climate change deniers, stating 'Das ist der Klimawandel,' while facing criticism over his absence. Concurrently, the AfD's rise ahead of the Saxony-Anhalt election remained a major theme, with Welt reporting on CDU Ministerpräsident Schulze's cancelled debate with AfD candidate Siegmund and Bild publishing an exclusive poll on German attitudes toward the AfD. The energy crisis also featured prominently, with Welt warning of a costly winter and advising consumers on gas tariffs.
