‘Everything’s fine. Come back in 20 years!’ On 20 January 1983, German cartoonist Horst Haitzinger illustrates the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Élysée Treaty. Franco-German cooperation and friendship has successfully passed the ‘MOT’ for its first 20 years. French President François Mitterrand and Federal Chancellor Helmut Kohl give the car driven by France (Marianne) and Germany (Michel) the rubber stamp for the next 20 years. On the bonnet, the car’s logo is in the form of the signatories of the 1963 treaty, President de Gaulle and Chancellor Adenauer.
