• It’s a blog on European Affairs.
• A project created by three young Europeans
moved by a common purpose: to provide a
weekly commentary on the past, the present
and the future of Europe.
• Founded in 2018 as “Plog-it” (a portmanteau
word for political-blog).
• Refurbished in 2019 as “Eu-Politank”
(pursuing the creation of a think-tank in the
future).
• Persisting in 2020 with the aim to enjoy the
vibrant atmosphere of Europe’s future.
