Politician considered to be founding father of today’s European Union died at his home in Paris
Jacques Delors, the former European Commission president considered a founding father of today’s EU, has died aged 98 at his home in Paris.
Delors, also a former French government minister, was a passionate advocate of postwar European integration and credited as the driving force behind the introduction of the euro, the EU’s single currency, and the creation of the bloc’s single market.
