Jennifer Baker presents EU Tweets of the Week, looking at the good, the bad and the ugly in the European Union Twittersphere this week:

  • Most debated: brace yourselves, EU bubble - a new European Parliament Group is born: European far-right parties are now the “Europe of Nations and Freedom” family.
  • The good: renewables in the energy mix - Miguel Arias Cañete announced that Europe was on track to meet its 2020 target (15.3% in 2014). Many welcome the news.
  • The bad: while EU officials marked the 30th anniversary of the Schengen agreement, France refused to let in 250 African migrants. So much for the free movement of people.
  • The ugly: the EU Twittersphere was left bemused by the rather odd theme chosen by the Commission for its meeting with religious leaders: “Living together and disagreeing well”!
