⌨The newspapers extensively report on two parallel stories: Bayrou's delayed cabinet announcement, now expected after 18:00 due to the national day of mourning (BFMTV, France TV Info, Le Figaro, Le Parisien, L'Express), with new focus on his letter to LR promising "order, security and administrative simplification" (Le Figaro, Le Parisien). Meanwhile, Mayotte's crisis deepens with severe water shortages and limited external aid in cyclone-hit areas (Libération, L'Obs).
