According to its founders, the goal is to reach normal citizens across Europe, get them interested in European affairs in the largest possible sense, and encourage them to engage in horizontal dialogue.

[1] The publication's title derives from the Greek word katoikos, which means resident or inhabitant, in this case of the EU.

[1] Katoikos.eu was launched in 2014 by José-Luis Herrero and Georgios Kostakos as a Madrid-based private company (Katoikos SL).

The publication features its "home-grown" cartoonist, Pascal Hansens, who has developed his own recognisable style that combines dark humour and political astuteness.

It is a place where different but interesting and knowledgeable people meet to express their views on the politics of the EU and its neighbourhood, but also cinema and daily life.
