‘Austerity! Growth!’ On 15 May 2012, the Dutch cartoonist Willem illustrates the differences of opinion between France and Germany on how best to resolve the economic and financial crisis in the European Union. German Chancellor Angela Merkel (on the left) is in favour of a policy of austerity and rigour and backs the idea of budgetary discipline, while French President François Hollande advocates a policy of growth to help the EU overcome the crisis.
