About Ruben Cober
Welcome!
My name is Ruben Cober.
Essential Europe brings you clear, weekly breakdowns of European news and the challenges shaping the future of our continent. From political decisions, economic trends to EU policies.
Since May 2021, I’ve been writing YouTube scripts and researching for IntoEurope, and since February 2025, I’ve done the same for Last Week in Europe with about 3 million views. I’ve also worked in the European Parliament as a parliamentary assistant, mainly advising on foreign affairs and as a writer.
