Who We Are
Citizen of Europe is rooted in European soil — but our journalism crosses the Atlantic. We look at Brussels, Warsaw, and Paris with the same sharp lens we turn on Washington and New York. We are European in voice, but transatlantic in reach.
Why It Matters
Politics no longer stops at borders. What happens in Congress reverberates in Strasbourg; what Hungary vetoes ripples in the White House. Citizen of Europe makes these connections visible — for Europeans navigating global shifts and for Americans trying to understand how their politics shapes Europe’s future.

Support Citizen of Europe — Because Truth Still Costs Something
Independent journalism isn’t powered by slogans — it’s powered by people who still believe facts matter. At Citizen of Europe, we don’t answer to parties, lobbyists, or PR departments. We answer to readers who care about reality more than spin. Every euro you give keeps that reality alive — it buys time to verify, context to explain, and courage to publish what others won’t touch.
Our work connects the dots between Brussels and Washington, Warsaw and the White House. We translate power into plain language and call out hypocrisy wherever it hides — left, right, or center. That takes stamina, legal review, and coffee. Lots of coffee.
If you’ve ever read a story here and thought, finally someone said it, you already understand the mission. Help us keep saying it — clearly, loudly, and freely. Because democracy doesn’t collapse overnight; it erodes when the truth becomes a luxury.
