24.12.2025The Day of the American Tech Visa Ban
The morning was dominated by a diplomatic rupture between Washington and Paris after the Trump administration imposed visa bans on former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton and four other officials for their roles in digital regulation. While editors previously focused on Breton’s domestic critiques, they shifted to a defense of European sovereignty as President Macron denounced the move as "intimidation."
By early afternoon, editorial priority transitioned to international diplomacy as Volodymyr Zelensky unveiled a detailed 20-point American-brokered peace plan. Outlets scrutinized the proposed demilitarization of Donbass and a front-line freeze, marking a pivot from the previous week's focus on military escalations.
The evening headlines were seized by a sharp escalation in Franco-Algerian tensions. Algiers' adoption of a law criminalizing the French colonial period and demanding reparations became the primary geopolitical story, overshadowing domestic reports on the technical adoption of the 2026 'special law' and ongoing cyberattacks against La Poste.
