The last cartoon by Georges Wolinski, one of the four leading cartoonists of French newspaper Charlie Hebdo who was murdered in yesterday's bloody attack on the newspaper's offices in Paris, was dedicated to Greece.

"Hi, Angela. Do not worry! Greeks have always respected their commitments, they will not leave the euro zone. We are on the right track", are the words of the French president in the first remark of the caricature. Then the bicycle in the form of the year 2015 reaches the end of the abyss and the French president asks himself, "Are we on the right track? I will not know until I get to the end ..."

This proved to be the last of cartoon by Georges Wolinski, the cartoonist who was murdered at the age of 80 by unknown perpetrators who spoke perfect French and said that they had links with Al Qaeda.

Popular and loved in Greece, Wolinski went into drawing cartoons in 1960, publishing both political and erotic drawings in a monthly publication at the time. He was born in Tunis in 1934, the eponymous capital of the African country, and he is the "father" of the caricature image Paulette that provoked a lot of reactions in France in 1970. In May 1968, he became co-founder of satirical magazine L'Enrage and his cartoons were printed in major French newspapers and, of course, in Charlie Hebdo.

Touching farewell by his daughter

Wolinski’s daughter preferred to say goodbye to her father with a photo of his office as he had left it on the morning before his murder and with a few words posted on one of the social networks. "Papa is gone, not Wolinski," reads the text below the photo.
