🍾 🍫 ✈ This is a story of how influence works in Brussels and that includes offering champagne, chocolate and free trips to those who often feel at the bottom of the food chain in the EU's bubble. ▶ Parliamentary assistants (or APAs) in Brussels are not known to have a luxurious lifestyle. Yet one think tank came up with a generous proposal last week, offering “immersive programme” of training — plus extra perks if you bring colleagues: “a bottle of Moët & Chandon for each confirmed referral” and “a trip to the capital of one of our member think tanks” for the biggest referrer.  🎭 Who was behind the lavish offer? A think tank founded by a Brexiteer, with ties to the powerful libertarian Atlas network and its 600 think tanks. Atlas has a rising presence in Europe, boasting connections in France with far-right financiers close to Éric Zemmour or Marine Le Pen but also with organizations fighting back against the rise of the far right. 📩 Who are they and what's their agenda? Read it in EU influence this week. Bonus: After unexpectedly arriving at the 29th floor of the Cardo Hotel just before sending this story, I can confirm that I have seen around a dozen bottles of champagne (worth around €40 each) arranged for guests, as well as a nice buffet overlooking the financial district. Unfortunately, we weren’t allowed to join the discussion, and were politely escorted outside of the conference room for a chat. More in EU influence: https://lnkd.in/eqz766-R
