The FDP leadership contest dominated the day, with Wolfgang Kubicki's narrow victory over Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann exposing deep party rifts. Morning coverage confirmed his win, but by afternoon, outlets like Tagesspiegel and Frankfurter Rundschau highlighted his 'humiliation' of Strack-Zimmermann and the risk of a split. Spiegel's commentary warned the internal strife could destroy the party. Meanwhile, Welt reported on looming 'brutal distributional struggles' and a new housing subsidy scheme. The EU's GEAS asylum system launch drew attention as a 'stress test' for Germany. Other stories included coalition tensions over Bafög reform, a Russian drone strategy alarming experts, and severe weather causing fatalities.
