‘HALLO! I’m taking the place of the old driver, who’s lost his licence!’ On 9 May 2012, French cartoonist Cabu paints an ironic picture of the new Merkel–Hollande duo and the question of the European budget pact. Three days earlier, on 6 May, François Hollande was the victor in the presidential election against outgoing President Nicolas Sarkozy. Throughout the presidential campaign, candidate Hollande emphasised that he wanted to renegotiate the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union. But German Chancellor Angela Merkel remains opposed to the idea of renegotiation. Following the election of François Hollande, are Paris and Bonn willing to relax their positions and work in favour of Franco-German friendship?
