What is Ecu Radio ?

Ecu Radio is a one-stop news website and podcast broadcasting from the heart of Europe. Facing challenges if not threats from all sides, we’re looking to:

  1. Decrypt the European Union, helping its citizens to understand their continent’s strengths and challenges
  2. Celebrate our successes and the people that make us proud
  3. Reaffirm our core values such as fundamental rights, freedom, peace and democracy
  4. Buy European, providing alternatives to products coming from authoritarian states or exploitative corporations.

Why creating Ecu Radio?

Europe is on its own, but it’s not helpless!

And it’s our mission to prove it. But let’s add some context.

The year is 2025. The month is March. Europe appears surrounded.

To the East, the war in Ukraine enters its third year. The conflict has taken a heavy toll on its people and cities, shattering over two decades of peace on the continent, featuring a scale of devastation not seen since the Second World War, 80 years ago.

In the West, across the Atlantic, the United States is led by a president whose platform is fueled by divisive rhetoric, if not hatred. Democratic institutions are under threat, as a group of influential billionaires work to undermine civil service and suppress dissenting voices.

Despite long-standing alliances and partnerships, both powers now view the European Union and its member states as adversaries to be overcome.

Europe is on its own. However, once again, it is not helpless.

Because what is Europe? It’s 450 million people. A nominal GDP of nearly 20 trillion euros. Global leaders in science, industry, and education. A bastion of democracy, prosperity, freedom and other fundamental rights. A place where everyone is born equal and is free to decide their own fate. An aspiration for numerous other countries who understand what the continent stands for. A dream for millions who wish to join its Union, on the continent and beyond.

Best of all, it’s a normative power enforcing regulations made to protect the people and the environment against corporations and rival states, against unbridled capitalism, fascism, and authoritarianism.

But what good are these strengths if they remain unrecognized? If the people perceive Europe as weak? If they are ready to dismantle it because they cannot see its benefits? If they fall prey to propaganda that paints a different picture?

This is where Ecu Radio comes in. Our platform, though modest, addresses these concerns and provides reasons to believe in Europe’s enduring strength and resilience.
