Yesterday was European Union Day.

Also known as Schuman Day, EU Day celebrates the historical declaration by French foreign minister Robert Schuman in 1950, which proposed the creation of a European Coal and Steel Community… the first of a series of supranational European institutions that would ultimately become today’s “European Union”.

I haven’t seen a single post celebrating Europe – the unprecedented decades of peace and all the economic, humanitarian, and cultural benefits we have been allowed to enjoy thanks to the European Union.

And that’s pretty devastating.
