Story angles

Left

Centre

Tracks the adoption and broadening of the text in the Senate, political positions and the impact on businesses. Also reports the autopsy of the deceased protester and the complaint by a deputy mayor of Saint-Denis.

Right

Stresses the economic impact on businesses, looting and online resales, and presents the "casseurs-payeurs" law as a firmness instrument. Cites officials such as David Lisnard and mentions the "riot tax".
