‘The graveyard of Europe: “Excuse me, where is Père la Chaise vide, please?”’ On 30 June 1965, General de Gaulle provokes the empty chair crisis, notably in order to show his disagreement with the principle of majority voting, and also to avoid having to discuss institutional aspects of the Common Market. On 13 July, French cartoonist Lap uses a play on words (‘Père la Chaise’ is a famous Parisian cemetery. ‘La chaise vide’ refers to the empty chair crisis) to paint an ironic picture of the deadlock facing Europe.
