Dear EU follower,
This report provides key insights into how EU Commissioners engaged on X / Twitter over the period 2025-04-01 to 2025-04-30. It shows how successful they have been in getting traction for their ideas, which priority topics they addressed and their policy positioning.
It also shows which other public or private bodies or trending social media topics they endorsed.
Note: tracking Commissioners’, MEPs’, ministers’ and private entities’ pro-active communication and the traction/feedback they receive (as well as how this evolves over time) provides valuable clues regarding future legislative action.
Methodological Note:
We calculate an Influence Score for each tweet using the formula
Influence Score = (1 × likes) + (6 × retweets) + (10 × quote tweets)
so that actions driving wider visibility count more than simple likes. Once every tweet has a weighted score, each tweet is mapped to a topic. Then, we analyse the direction of the policy view expressed and the strength of the message, i.e. moderate vs. strong. The weight of strong messages is doubled.
Note: we do not include comments/replies as they are often automated trolling.
At EUmatrix we analyse content, detect & remove trolling, and auto-post quality content (with user permission). Contact team@eumatrix.eu.
