Hi mods,

I think the title says it all.

Thank you for moderating.

For using the word "n*gro" while referencing the segregation in 1960's USA.

Seems a warning or a temporary ban would suffice but it's not my server.

Hi everyone !

Hi everyone !

Tonight at 18:30, I’m interviewing the Rector of the Collège of Europe, Federica Mogherini, on my Twitch channel. We will talk about the mission of the Collège, its place within the European sphere and how it has evolved over the past few years.

The Collège of Europe (also known as the Collège de Bruges) is a post-graduate institute focused exclusively on European studies. Over the years, it has become the "elite school" of the EU, teaching thousands of students how the EU works and thus giving them a prime opportunity to embrace a career in EU politics, whether in the institutions or elsewhere. Many high level EU politicians, civil servants and other actors of EU politics are alumni of the Collège**.**

Tomorrow from 9:00 to 12:00, the speech on the State of the European Union (SOTEU) will take place. It's the most important political speech for the EU, where the President of the European Commission comes to the Parliament to present the recent achievements of the Commission and the political priorities for the year to come. After the speech, MEPs get to react and share their impressions and recommendations to the Commission.

To simplify, it's the equivalent of your Prime Minister coming to your Parliament to explain the political priorities of the government.

So where can you watch this, I hear you say ?

For starters, the speech will be broadcasted live on the European Parliament's website, with the translation available in all 24 official languages. So you have this option from the get-go.

BUT

If you're based and want to follow the speech in style, you may also follow it on my Twitch channel tomorrow from 08:30. We will watch, comment and analyse the speech together as well as the reaction of the Presidents of the political groups, giving you context about what is said (or not said) and answering your questions.

From 11:30, I will be on the stream of the European Federalists to discuss the SOTEU and interview some MEPs about their impressions and what it means for the future of the EU.

And for the French speakers, at 19:00 I'm hosting on Twitch French MEP Valérie Hayer, copresident of the French Renew delegation, to discuss her impressions, the upcoming EU elections, etc.

My Twitch: Twitch.tv/mepassistant

So make sure to come over for to follow the SOTEU, one way or another !

There is literally no reason to cancel a whole country because of one president and some stupid people, so I think we should bring back the Russian map. It doesn't have anything to do with the war...

Hi everyone !

Tonight at 20:00 I’m interviewing Jean Comte, journalist at Contexte, on my Twitch channel.

Jean Comte has been covered EU affairs since 2014 and works at Contexte, a digital French news outlet specialised on EU politics (the best in my opinion), since 2017. There, he covers particularly issues related to lobbying, transparency, and the EU institutional inner working. In 2023, he published a book, Au coeur du lobbying européen », in which he digs into the weight of lobbys in EU politics and why they are so influencial.

We will discuss the job of EU journalist, Contexte, lobbying and transparency.

This interview will be in French but feel free to suggest down here questions you would like Jean Comte to answer !

Hi everyone !

We're getting close to Europe's Day, so I figured it'd be a good time to talk about European activism. I'm well placed to know that talking about the EU to young people is not always an easy task. But some people made it their life's mission.

Tonight at 20:00 I’m interviewing Antoine Chabal, President of the Young Europeans France, on my Twitch channel.

The Young Europeans France is the French branch of the youth network the Young Europeans, which gathers more than 30 000 young Europeans. Whether through their local activities or their journal, their objective is to inform and advocate for a democratic and federal Europe.

We will discuss what the Young Europeans are and do, what it takes to be a young European advocate and of course of the upcoming EU elections.

This interview will be in French but feel free to suggest down here questions you would like Antoine Chabal to answer !
