Explaining the EU: one meme at a time (with DG MEME)
Update: 2025-03-06
Description
The EU is often seen as a maze of bureaucracy, endless rules, and policymaking so complex it needs a manual, but humor? Not exactly its strong suit. Enter DG MEME, the website that pokes fun at EU politics while making it more understandable, one meme at a time. In this episode of EU Untangled, we sit down with Fabio Mauri, the mastermind behind DG MEME, to talk about how it all started, the creative process behind the scenes, and whether Brussels can actually laugh about itself.
Guest: Fabio Mauri, Director-General of DG MEME (Directorate-General for Memes, Satire and Sober Fun)
Hosted & produced by Victor Aguilar & Alexander Roth; Lisa Vallese supported the preparation and communication.
