‘For the European support fund, please … Euro: Hey! I'm still moving!’ On 12 May 2010, French cartoonist Plantu illustrates the efforts being made by France and Germany to save the single European currency. Several commentators are already announcing the death of the euro. But three days earlier, on 9 May 2010, the 27 Member States of the European Union approved the creation of a European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), a European aid fund to maintain financial stability on the continent by providing financial assistance to countries in the euro zone experiencing economic difficulties. French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, portrayed as two altar servers, are taking the collection at the funeral mass for the euro.
