We were planning this month to expand our team and produce all sorts of videos. But Covid-19 had other ideas... Expenses this month were mostly related to inviting five candidates for in-person job interviews, as well as buying software, hardware and props.

We could only order the computers if they were shipped from Germany to Germany. #SingleMarket Thankfully our team members have parents in Germany who could forward the packages to Brussels. We insured them along the way.

The computers provided by the Parliament suck. We had enough.

11/03/2020Yearly software fee

We are not revealing which software we use because we don't want to spread propaganda. It's for editing videos, animations and graphics.

To close a door and never open it again.

06/03/2020Hotel and travel costs for – you guessed it – a potential intern

I can't think of any more ways to describe this. Insert your own funny explanation here. #DIY

06/03/202010 EU balloons

As much as we love Nena, 99 balloons were just too expensive. To be honest, we just needed these for a video. And we filled them faithfully with the same substance that makes up the EU: hot air.

Our press officer (pretends like she) wants to learn something about the EU.

29.90 €
06/03/2020Hotel and travel costs for a potential intern

Our office needed some help, so we invited some people to potentially join the team. We figured that letting them sleep under a bridge wouldn't be a good start for them.

We were asked by a group of students in Germany for an autograph of Nico to give to their teacher as a gift, since they share the same birthday. And so we sent them one. (Yes, we do have a heart).

Fuck capitalism. But unfortunately we are part of the system, so we have to pay for stuff like this.
