15:21⇢The Independence of Rita Süssmuth Ends
⌨German editorial priorities have shifted abruptly toward a singular domestic event: the death of Rita Süssmuth at 88. Major outlets across the ideological spectrum (FAZ, Zeit, Bild, SZ, Spiegel, Merkur, Tagesspiegel, RP, Stuttgarter Zeitung) are focusing on her legacy as a CDU politician and former Bundestag President. Editors emphasize her independence and influence on the party's social policy, momentarily sidelining the previous focus on transatlantic tensions.
