A cartoon belittles Franco’s intentions to enter the European Union. An old Franco, dressed in his military uniform, rides an emaciated horse toward the European Union. The horse is blindfolded, and the flies buzzing around it are waiting for its imminent death. The dying horse carries a banner that reads “Freedom of The Press." It's clear that it will be hard to get there with this horse. The barren soil contrasts with Franco’s corpulence.
