@europeanspodcast The fact that we had European elections last year and not a single party, not even the supposedly paneuropean Volt, campaigned on making Europe Day a bank holiday in all willing EU statelets (not you, Luxembourg, you're the only one that doesn't act like a parochial village on this, good for you!) is just mindblowing to me. It's great that parties and concerts happen, but we should be celebrating #EuropeDay together, all over the EU, as a bank holiday.
