## Reported figures

- 41 deaths
- 115 injured

## Coverage angles

All three sides cover Jacques Moretti's new hearing and the victims' discontent, but the left emphasizes the owner's responsibilities and inconsistencies, the center mainly relays the facts and relatives' reactions, while the right highlights the emotion and frustration of families.

**Common ground**

- Jacques Moretti was heard again by the prosecutors, without his wife Jessica
- The fire at Le Constellation bar left 41 dead and 115 injured
- Victims and their relatives express their anger and frustration after the hearing

**Differences**

- The left stresses that Moretti blames the former owner and admits to having narrowed the staircase; this angle is scarcely present on the right
- The center mentions that the investigation targets 17 people and relays the request for an investigation into municipal finances, absent from the provided right-wing articles
- The left describes the hearing as "disjointed" with "many inconsistencies", a formulation taken up by the center via a witness but not by the right
