Centre
No coverage from this side.
Right
Highlights the attack and fire at the town hall, the extent of the damage (historic building "largely lost"), the state of shock of the population and the mayor's testimony on law enforcement measures in the face of the "rioters". The comparison with the Reichstag is not taken up.
