## Reported figures

- 3 deaths

## Coverage angles

Both sides cover the same tribute and the same appeal trial, but the centre emphasizes the message of cohesion and remembrance of the victims, while the right gives greater prominence to the identity and background of the perpetrator and the Islamist nature of the attack.

**Common ground**

- Tribute paid in Nice six years after the Notre-Dame Basilica attack
- Three named victims: Nadine, Simone and Vincent
- Life imprisonment without parole sentence in 2025 and appeal trial scheduled for December
- Presence of relatives and officials at the ceremony

**Differences**

- The right explicitly describes the attack as Islamist and details the perpetrator's migratory background, elements absent from the centre's headlines and excerpts
- The centre emphasizes the refusal of fear, suspicion and division, an angle absent from the right's excerpts
- The right quotes the perpetrator's statements during his appeal, not mentioned by the centre
