Dante call Brussels

I don’t know if there are many Italians reading this blog. But I would still like to point out to you two blogs dealing with EU affairs in Dante’s language. Straneuropa is written by the Brussels correspondent of  ”La Stampa”, a widely-read newspaper. It depicts EU politics with a sense of sharp humour and constructive, pro-European criticism. Sometimes he relates funny, surprising anecdotes from Planet Brussels. Like the one on the Charleroi airport which asks journalists to thank the airport in their reports. Matizandrea focuses his analysis on EU communication policy and on institutions, with a 100% blue and yellow spirit. I was quite impressed by his detailed and well informed portraits of all the 26 candidate Commissioners . And then…don’t say that Italian political commentators only talk about Berlusconi!
