## Coverage angles

Centrist media cover both aspects of the case (the dropping of Sefrioui's complaint and the appearance in Vesoul) in a factual and procedural tone, while the right-wing media focuses on the Vesoul conviction, emphasizing the defendant's terrorist background and the sentence handed down.

**Common ground**

- Abdelhakim Sefrioui was sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment in the Samuel Paty case
- Sefrioui's complaint was dropped
- A 23-year-old woman already convicted in the Paty case appeared in Vesoul for failure to report her change of address

**Differences**

- The right-wing media details the sentence handed down in Vesoul (six months with electronic monitoring), an element absent from centrist excerpts
- Centrist media develop the grounds and possible follow-up to the dropping of Sefrioui's complaint, an angle not covered by the right-wing media
