Cartoon by Trez on the action of the Franco-German duo in favour of Europe (14 February 1976)

‘A spoonful for Valéry … A spoonful for Helmut …’ On 14 February 1976, following the Franco-German summit in Nice, French cartoonist Alain Tredez illustrates the close cooperation between President Giscard (on the left) and Federal Chancellor Schmidt (on the right) to enable Europe to consolidate its political role on the international stage. The two leaders are depicted as parents feeding a child in a high chair, overseeing the growth and maturation of the young ‘Europe’ to compensate for a lack of political ability.
