How Europe's front pages are covering the Brexit

The impact of the Brexit referendum will be far more wide reaching than Britain's shores. This is how newspapers around Europe have been covering the debate on their front pages.

Newspapers from around Europe are covering Britain’s choice to leave or remain in the European Union ahead of its referendum on Thursday.

The day before the Brexit polls open, Slovakia’s Dennik N is making one last plea for the UK to stay. Its front page features the map of Britain framed by a dotted, cut-out line running across the English Channel, and a headline that reads, "Do not leave us".

Meanwhile Slovenia's Dnevnik newspaper takes a different stance, with the simple cover of its Saturday edition reading, "Don't panic: So long and thanks for all the fish and chips".

On Monday, the front page of Sweden’s Di newspaper was covered in the Union Jack and an Abba quote. “Take a chance on EU!” the headline says alongside the words, “Dear Brits, Sweden and the EU need you – and you still need us”.

Similarly, one of Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad's editions last week is emblazoned with the union jack and a banner saying, “Don’t leave me this way”. While Germany’s Der Spiegel says, “Please don’t go!: Why Germany needs the British”.

An earlier German cover from Die Zeit says, "If the British go" alongside the image of a bulldog whose tongue is painted in the Union Jack.

In Britain itself, the Sun, Daily Mail and Daily Express are taking firm stances on the leave side of the debate with their Thursday covers below.

The Economist backs the opposite side, with the cover of its June 18 issue saying, "Divided we fall". As did Britain'sand Metro. Its cover on Wednesday reads: "Vote remain tomorrow".
