## Coverage angles

All three sides report Laurent Nuñez’s confirmation of "technical discussions" with the Taliban, but differ in angle: the left emphasizes the admission of the dialogue and its inclusion in a European approach, the center relays the official confirmation alongside parliamentary criticism, the right highlights the expulsion of people subject to OQTF and the Quai d’Orsay’s denials.

**Common ground**

- France confirms the existence of "technical discussions" with the Taliban
- Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez is the source of this confirmation
- The stated aim is to expel people posing a threat to public order

**Differences**

- The left presents the dialogue as a French "recognition" or "admission," while the right specifies that the Quai d’Orsay rejects any recognition of the regime
- The center relays Léa Balage’s criticism of a "start of normalization" and "gender apartheid," an angle absent from right-wing articles
- The right mentions people subject to OQTF and the denial regarding a Taliban working group at the consulate, elements absent from left and center excerpts
- The left places the dialogue within a multi-country European approach, an element not taken up in right-wing excerpts
