German media in the morning continued its focus on the future of the social welfare system, with repeated calls for significant reforms, including pension adjustments and austerity measures. Internationally, SPD leader Klingbeil's visit to Kyiv for talks amidst the ongoing Ukraine conflict was a key topic, with discussions on potential ceasefires and Germany's stance. By early afternoon, a new, dominant story emerged: the extensive coverage of former Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck's resignation from the Bundestag. Numerous outlets detailed his reasons for leaving and highlighted his critical remarks toward specific political figures. This event continued to be analyzed throughout the day, with discussions on his legacy and a successor. Later, the legacy of the 2015 refugee crisis and Merkel's "Wir schaffen das" anniversary re-entered the discourse, often in conjunction with ongoing social policy debates.
