06.02.2025The Day Mayotte Lost Its Soil
Saint-Brieuc's Cup victory over Nice dominated early coverage before attention shifted to Decathlon's Uyghur forced labor scandal. The morning saw extensive discussion of Trump's "Gaza 2035" plan, following his previous day's declaration about US control of Gaza.

By evening, Parliament's adoption of restrictions on birthright citizenship in Mayotte emerged as the central story, marking a significant shift in French territorial policy. Simultaneously, the government suspended controversial VAT reforms for self-employed workers after widespread opposition, demonstrating another policy retreat following the agricultural crisis.

Late coverage focused on the Egypt-led Gaza ceasefire negotiations, reportedly weakened by Israel's support for Trump's plan. Sports coverage concluded with Bourgoin-Jallieu's elimination from the Cup on penalties against Reims, while political tensions surfaced in Parliament with antisemitism accusations between RN and LFI deputies.
