Voxeurop is the first European Press Cooperative – owned by journalists, translators, and readers in 16 countries.
Europe’s hot spots
In more than 35,000 European municipalities, average temperatures have risen by more than 2°C over the last fifty years. From big cities to small villages, the climate crisis reaches every corner of Europe – but citizens are rising up, and people in power are finally taking action.
There can be no functioning European democracy without a European journalism
The EU will never be a functioning democracy without a corresponding functioning public sphere. Investigative journalism has a major role to play in taking the European institutions, leaders and actions accountable, like it does at the national level, says Dutch anthropologist and author Joris Luyendijk.
The virus, the earthquake and the bio-economy of tourism
In Croatia, an allegedly independent group of experts have pulled the strings in the handling of the coronavirus pandemic. But this crisis management has in fact been deeply political, writes journalist and novelist Slavenka Drakulić. Dependent on tourism, EU’s youngest member state plays a risky game where political power and economy stand against the lives of the most vulnerable. In the end the future of democracy could be at stake.
