What I most liked about the was to provide the first opportunity to hold Ursula von der Leyen publicly accountable.

A pity there is neither an EU political party system nor an EU public sphere translating such an opportunity into political and public accountability,

What I most liked about the #MaastrichtDebate was to provide the first opportunity to hold @vonderleyen publicly accountable. A pity there is neither an EU political party system nor an EU public sphere translating such an opportunity into political and public accountability,

Von der Leyen’s opening to Giorgia Meloni-led ECR group in the Parliament was the most honest answer she gave thus far

Fasten your seat belt, as the EU will go right for real (even more than now)

The most grotesque aspect of the debate (there’re many more) is that even the trickiest questions sound like well-rehearsed prompts enabling von der Leyen to offer her well-rehearsed bullet points to the audience

The only thing the EU lacks to have a proper presidential-like debate is:

- an EU -wide electoral competition

- with millions, not a few thousands, watchers…

Praise to Studio Europa Maastricht POLITICOEurope Jaume Duch for giving it a try!

How the EU elections are shaping up?

• A couple of technocratic reports

• A couple of grandiloquent speeches…

Yet democracy is first and foremost a SOCIAL process allowing the voters to perceive themselves as part of a broader political entity.

Why to vote and for what

As everyone expected, a defiant Pedro Sánchez says he will remain in office as Spain’s prime minister

How long will he last will depend more on Catalonia than on ongoing investigations on his wife

Don’t be fooled : the sudden campaign by President von der Leyen doesn’t make her a candidate - as she’s not running.

It’s a PR stunt targeting 27 heads of state and government gathering in

Italian political leaders show not only disrespect but also opportunism vis-à-vis the EU (Parliament):

They put themselves forward as lead candidates for their respective parties to draw votes at home - not in the EU Parliament where they will never take their seat.

Lobbying can be a powerful tool for social change, but it has been historically avoided by nonprofits due to its negative perception. It is actually possible to legitimate it for and citizens’ access.

National politics can kill an EU leader (eg Phil Hogan) or resurrect him/her (eg Antonio Costa / Pedro Sanchez).

Please elaborate.

As the President of the EU Commission is a member of that Commission, his/her country of origin must put forward his/her name.

Why would Giorgia Meloni’s government nominate Draghi as “Italian” Commissioner?
