‘Holy European Institute — Franco-Germano-Hispanic. Miss Europe, get out! And to think that she was vying for the title of Miss World! I tell you, she was treating our establishment like a brothel …’ On 6 February 1963, French cartoonist Roland Moisan takes an ironic view of the European ideas of General de Gaulle, who is in favour of a Europe of sovereign states. To achieve this aim, the French President is mainly counting on the cooperation of German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, with whom he enjoys very close relations.
