The Daily European

The Daily European newspaper was beamed to Brussels from the year 2057. Ironically, there are two versions of the newspaper: one from a disintegrated Europe and the other from a flourishing Europe in 2057.

  • Where did all go wrong?

    Tuesday 18 September 2007, by Marko Bucik
    Taking a look back to 2007, things have gone from bad to worse for European unity.
