Jacques Delors, the mastermind behind the modern European Union, has passed away at the age of 98.
His legacy includes the establishment of the single market, allowing the free movement of people, goods, and services within the bloc.
From 1985 to 1995, Delors played a pivotal role in laying the foundation for the single European currency, the euro.
However, his vision for integration was met with skepticism, particularly in the UK, where he became a symbol of what some saw as unwarranted interference from Brussels.
The British tabloid, The Sun, famously captured this sentiment with the headline: “Up Yours, Delors.”
This breaking news will be updated shortly with more details.
