MEPs on Twitter #8: the comeback of ALDE and S&D

By

MEPs from the EFDD Groups were still those engaging the citizens the most. Yet, they obtained fewer reactions that the week before. Contrarily, ALDE and S&D conversations generated more retweets and replies than last week, significantly reducing the gap with EFDD.

MEPs on Twitter

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.
