Just to let you know the context for the second drawing is that some far-right magazine had compared the Minister of Justice to a Monkey on the front page :

The drawing is actually denouncing the far-right by a play on word with "Rassemblement Bleu Marine" to "Rassemblement Bleu Racist".

At the time of the publishing, it would have been well understood by the readership this was not an attack on the Minister but rather on the far right.

Regarding the context, let me quote you Cardinal Richelieu: "Give me six lines written by the most honorable of men, and I will find an excuse in them to hang him"
