## Coverage angles

The three sides cover the Clermont-Ferrand fire following its evolution, but with different angles: the left focuses on the judicial procedure and suspects, the center on victim emotion and the silent march, the right on investigation details and circumstances of the drama.

**Common ground**

- The fire left four dead and several injured in a downtown Clermont-Ferrand building.
- Two men aged 20 and 21 were indicted and placed in pre-trial detention.
- The criminal track is retained by authorities.
- A silent march was organized in tribute to the victims.

**Differences**

- The left details the indictment and role of suspects, while the right insists on elements such as drunkenness or a filmed scene.
