20.10.2026 ⇱ The Day Police Arrested a Suspect in Hajar's Death
⌹

Following the curfews ordered in Paris, Lille and Lyon, morning coverage showed empty streets and cleanup in Paris after weekend looting, with shopkeepers counting losses. Attention then moved to severe weather in southern France, where heavy rain caused a death, and to preparations for Saturday demonstrations, for which France announced a large police deployment with army support.

Domestically, NS said train tickets would rise by an average 4.7 percent next year, the only economic item carried by several outlets.

By evening the shared focus shifted to Amsterdam, where police arrested a 23-year-old man on suspicion of involvement in the death of 29-year-old Hajar, found in a suitcase. He had initially been questioned as a witness.

Nederlandse banken en pensioenfondsen hebben voor tientallen miljarden aan Franse staatsschuld op hun balans staan. „Dat kan tot verliezen leiden.” Als de Franse crisis escaleert en de centrale bank ingrijpt, zijn Nederlanders de klos. „Dat leidt tot inflatie en tast ons koopkrachtige pensioen aan.”
