On 5 September 1992, German cartoonist Walter Hanel illustrates the issues surrounding the referendum to be held that month in France for the ratification of the Maastricht Treaty. The French voter seems to be bearing the entire burden of the future of the European integration process. The Franco-German duo Mitterrand and Kohl, as well as the other European partners clutching the bull, are concerned at the uncertain outcome of the French vote. A ‘No’ vote would be a bitter blow for the future of Europe.
