Brexit and the Urgent Need for a Plan B
Guest commentary by Daniel Guéguen - 17 Jul 2016
Brexit, rightly seen as inadvisable, will turn out to be impossible both technically and politically. Far from destroying the EU, Brexit is a chance to relaunch it by creating a two-circle community: a circle based on Eurozone integration and a circle for the Single Market. Everyone would benefit from this. by Daniel Guéguen

The Project
What happened during the last two weeks in Poland? What stimulated heated debates in Germany? And which topics were meanwhile disputed in France? What actually moves the people in your neighbouring country?
With our two-weekly Cosmopublic Country Reports, we provide up-to-date insights into discussions, emotions and problems of European states - an offer to all Europeans to find out more about their neighbours' views and opinions.
...what moves YOUR Country?
Cosmopublic.eu already reports from no less than 14 countries. Still, this is just the beginning! We aim to establish new teams in even more member states of the European Union.
You like the idea behind Cosmopublic.eu? You are interested in contributing? Then please get in touch with us: contact@cosmopublic.eu
More questions?
We are a bunch of students, graduates and young professionals from various disciplines. Native authors with diverse backgrounds report for us. To run Cosmopublic.eu we founded the charitable organisation “European Cosmopublic Project” as a registered association in Berlin, in which we are engaged on an honorary basis.
