What:

A video about how to become an EU official and how it may feed into the conception of Europe as a technocracy. Although technocracies are often related to meritocracy, which is treated as a universal good, the EU's selection process can cause some problems in regards to national representation, ease of getting recruits, and feeding into the 'eurobubble.'

Why:

We thought it was important to describe a bit more of how someone can get into the EU, what this process means, and why some people are quick to talk about 'unelected bureaucrats.'

How:

We took a bunch of primary and secondary sources on the EPSO EU selection process and also more opinionated articles on what the potential ramifications could be.

About us:

We are a team of Europeans trying to create European media.

Feedback is extremely useful, and it's incredibly important to understand that we are by no means the arbiters of truth: we can be wrong, and we will be wrong.

Also, there is a large difference between fake narratives and fake facts. Although we will try to stay as close to the truth in presenting objective facts (i.e there are 27 EU commissioners not 10), it is much more difficult to stay close to the truth when it comes to important narratives.

What the team decides is 'news' can shift the attention to a certain set of facts that may be true but may not be as important for other people, and this is where bias can easily come to fruition.

We ask the viewers to be aware of our bias and realize that, just like them, we are an imperfect team pushed by our own moral convictions and beliefs.
