All set for the second day at the Closing Conference of the European Year of the Citizens. It’s been a rollercoaster of two days between catching up with what went on in a year of formal and surgical interventions by the powers that be into trying to provoke a demos into life and on the other hand understanding how much this fair Baltic country has changed since my last visit in 2002.
Expect a series of posts over the next few days documenting the social (I’m here as a blogger – because, you know, it’s not all about Alexa) and the political. I’m also hoping that my efforts at keeping up with the neighbours (and their alcoholic consumption) do not cloud my thinking too much.
Right. For now it’s listening time… and we kick off with Mme Viviane Reding. You really can never run away from Luxembourg and the Luxembourgers… they’re as ubiquitous as the Maltese in the London sales.
