When lobbying is about being flexible with your narrative

When you have to live with a Eurosceptic fragility condition

When times are hard but at least the US accepts Monopoly money

For people who demand to be silent, the far-right is sure making a lot of noise today.

Tuesday, I shared my disappointment at being sidelined (again) from the EU's influencer program. But looking at VDL's insta video, I'm kind of glad I was if that's really how it went. The vibe is more "holding court with the fan-club" than treating EU influencers seriously.

When Ursula-chan can't get her teammates to work together

When not triggering the orange monster is your new priority

When you're a bad friend but a committed European

Another SOTEU, another year where the EU institutions "forget" I exist & don't invite me as part of their SOTEU influencer program. It's always good & motivating to see such recognition from the those you're trying to promote, especially as one of the most veteran in the field.

2 rather revealing things on EU dynamics: 1) The Council is pissed because the Commission dares to treat the Parliament like an institution it politically answers to. 2) It's the Commission that has to push the Parliament to improve MEP attendance in the hemicycle during plenaries.

Wanna watch #SOTEU like a boss and not fall asleep in the process ? I got just the thing for you. Tomorrow from 08:00, we're watching and commenting THE EU political speech of the year, the reaction of MEPs and debrief what's in store for Europe next year !

When it's that time of the year again. #SOTEU

How to make a successful presidency conference: 1) Open registration only 2 weeks before the date 2) Require people applying for registration to already book their hotel & plane 3) Wait 4) Tell people (who booked everything as instructed) that actually they are on the waiting list 5) PROFIT

Combo "le RN ne veut plus le Frexit mais en fait si" + "Frexiteur/Europhobe mais toujours partant pour prendre l'argent de l'Europe". Manque plus que "Employé pour le Parlement européen mais en fait pour le parti" et on a un bingo.

When you went from being Jupiter to downing Prime Ministers faster than Jupilers

Bingo cards are to the State of the Union what peanut butter is to jam & bread. It just works. They help viewers survive the flood of politically calibrated incantations. They are a public service. So I'm pleased to present you my totally accurate 2025 #SOTEU bingo cards. Enjoy and good luck.

When you've had to deal with a trade war, a motion of censure and an unruly majority but it's barely been a year. #SOTEU

I finally relented and created a page on LinkedIn. On top of relaying my usual content there, I'll make use of the longer format allowed by the platform to discuss various aspects of my activities more in-depth, from a communication/creation point of view. Let's see how it goes :)

When it's time to storm L'Ill Beach again

🚨MY WEEK ON TWITCH🚨 -📰 EU news review -🇪🇺 SOTEU 2025 -📰 Revue de l'actu européenne

It's very ironic to see the advocates of the Stop Destroying VideoGames initiative, which openly said their success relied on EU politicians being ignorant and lazy, suddenly turn into a properly registered lobby in Brussels. Looks like lobbying is no longer a dirty word.

Given Teresa Ribera's recent habit to openly challenge the Commission's narrative (and therefore VDL), I gotta ask: has anyone ever seen Ribera and Thierry Breton in the same room ? Just sayin'

Dombrovskis would be proud of such an emotional outburst

"It's not a bug, it's a feature" EU Council, probably

Surrealism but it's international politics

When the US continues its crusade against EU tech regulation

When the EU's Godfathers agree on something

When you have to pay the price for having Left 4 Holiday

When you're desperate for a savior

When it's time to wake up from those dreams of relaxation and get back to the grind

🚨MY WEEK ON TWITCH🚨 -📰 EU news review -📰 Revue de l'actu européenne

It's that time of the year again, slowly getting ready for a new season of content. As usual, I would be more than happy to get a team of volunteers to help me out in their free time, whether it is to brainstorm stream ideas, draft memes or else. So DM me if interested !

Ex MEP assistant goes where no one has dared going before, the European Parliament in Luxembourg.

🧵Today was the deadline for the "Stop Killing Games" EU petition, which gathered 1.4 million signatures. The Commission will have to assess it & decide whether or not to fulfil its demands in law. Except that it's doomed to fail, because the petition is argued very stupidly.👇

Jokes aside, the whole EU-US deal shows how much the EU, which thrived on an open world built on rules, struggles in the new world of bullies. Playing nice doesn't work when your "ally" use its full power to break you & your rivals circle around you ready to attack any weakness.

One day maybe the EU will finally grow a pair and actually start acting like what it claims to be. But today is not that day.
