ANALYSIS BY COUNTRY
FRANCEDOMINANT ANGLE
Paris reads OPEC's fracture as a destabilization of the international energy order built since 1973
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •France 24 highlights that the UAE exit comes as the Strait of Hormuz is strangled by Iran's blockade, compounding institutional and logistical oil crises simultaneously
- •France, a net hydrocarbon importer dependent on imports for over 70% of its needs, is directly exposed to price volatility from OPEC's disintegration
- •Paris reads the Saudi-Emirati fracture as a military and diplomatic rupture, not just economic, with implications for its own Gulf military presence
BIASES
Net-importer/European lens that downplays the perspectives of producing member statesConsumer-price framing that underrepresents the geopolitical effects on regional alliances
RUSSIASTATEDOMINANT ANGLE

Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Moscou cadre la fracture de l'OPEC comme une validation de la thèse multipolariste sur la recomposition des alliances mondiales
- •La Russie pourrait bénéficier d'un OPEC fragmenté en renforçant ses coordinations bilatérales avec Abu Dhabi et Pékin
- •La baisse potentielle des prix du pétrole reste une menace non adressée pour les finances russes très dépendantes des hydrocarbures
BIASES
Survalorisation du narratif géopolitique par rapport aux effets économiques concrets pour MoscouOmission du risque de baisse des prix pour les recettes russes
