Great to see I also improved my standing in the general #EUinfluencers list from #18 last year to #14 . It seems I'm the only Italian in the ranks which means I'm on my way to micro-fame in Brussels while remaining basically unknown in my native land: A real dream coming true.

"From the 1st day of this war you've shared our pain, you've helped Ukrainians from the bottom of your hearts and Ukrainians will always remember this," says @ZelenskyyUa to Italians praising their "strength" that now shall be used "to stop one person so that the best survive"

Shocking remarks by former PM and Forza Italia leader Berlusconi who, after having avoided any take on the war in Ukraine for months, revealed his pro-Putin stance two days before the elections with a description of events very akin to Kremlin propaganda. [EN translation below⬇️]

It's very difficult for an occasional #Eurovision2024 viewer to look at this madness as it wasn't a situation where organisers are overprotecting a controversial act while throwing under the bus another goofy one who sings that world has no borders and who hasn't been charged

Ok, this picture seems right out of a TV commercial but I can't stop thinking how much Commission officials love their EU badge to wear it proudly even in the heart of Rome as if it really matters there

This is the end, my friends. With a sober "Thank you very much" EP president @RobertaMetsola drops the curtain on this term marked by a pandemic, wars at the gates of Europe, and some scandals here and there but with the usual awareness that democracy is the best thing we have

I distance myself from the content of this column which reflects the opinion of his author only, not of @Euractiv ’s agrifood hub. Apart from inaccuracies showing a lack of knowledge, the piece brings no contribution to the important debate on the role of farming in our societies

Lecito chiedersi di chi facesse gli interessi @sandrogozi quando era al governo. Si guardi poi ai fatti. Assunse l’incarico ereditando 119 procedure di infrazione da Bruxelles, dimezzate a 59 in 4 anni di lavoro. In un solo anno l’attuale governo le ha riportate a 79, per dire.

It's been a tough job but someone had to: I checked ALL the proposed actions in the Farm to Fork strategy and I found out that over half of them have not got off the ground (and more than two-thirds will likely remain unfinished before the term ends) 👇

Over half of von der Leyen’s food policy promises weren’t met, analysis shows

Repeated delays and a farmer-led green policy backlash have left the flagship “Farm to Fork” strategy in doubt.
