BRUSSELS has been mocked for its recent video marking Europe Day, where the bloc chose to celebrate the “unity and solidarity” between member states.
Brussels chose to mark Europe Day by publishing a video with a message from each of the bloc’s leaders. The EU27 each said what Europe means to them, with Charles Michel, the President of the European Council, highlighting that Europe stood for unity and solidarity. But the claim has received a backlash on social media, as people question whether the EU really are “all in it together”.
Mr Michel posted the video to his Twitter account, and wrote: “On #EuropeDay, let’s never forget… Europe is YOU, it’s US, it’s all of us TOGETHER. UNITY is what makes us stronger.”
The video has also been posted to the EU’s official website and shows each of the EU27 giving a short message of what Europe means to them.

One person wrote: “Excuse me, but this seemes like a surreal freakshow… Only rhetoric.
