The first insight from this week's monitoring is that the absolute number of tweets followed a declining trajectory, following the EP plenary days (22-25th of October). This signals a strong effect of the monthly gathering in Strasbourg on MEPs' Twitter activity.
In the run-up to the 2019 European elections, EuVisions kicked off a special project centred around the current members of the EU Parliament.
Out of a total number of 750 MEPs, we are tracking the online activity of 666 deputies on Twitter, through their profiles. Currently, we are collecting all the tweets sent by MEPs, as well as, the reactions to the former, in terms of retweets and replies.
If you would like to have more information about the project, please write to Martina Zaghi, at m.zaghi30@gmail.com.
