This was precisely 40 years ago.
On this day in 1984, French President François Mitterrand and German Chancellor Helmut Kohl met at Douaumont Ossuary in 🇫🇷 Verdun, silently bearing the echoes of a fractured past.
Hand in hand, they embodied unity.
Their legacy continues to inspire us and resonate across Europe.
Today, like yesterday,
un symbole d’amitié et d’unité —
ein Symbol für Freundschaft und Einheit.

The french-german friendship is one of the main reasons western europe has seen decades of peace and prosperity. Even the EU wouldnt be imaginable without it.
Rare case of politicians doing the exactly right thing, Im always glad we’re good friends with our western neighbours now.
I never liked Kohl and his gouvernments, but I appreciate that he was always Europe-minded.
Le Geste de Verdun 🇨🇵🇩🇪
They beared the echoes so I didn’t need to. I still bear the echoes anyway, thus their mission failed.
Its great to see this. Its nice to see nations that were former adversaries coming together in peace and reconciliation.
I dont like Kohl, but that was awesome
