June 7th 2009 is not only one of the possible dates for the 2009 European Parliament elections. It is also the date for the Legislative elections in Luxembourg. Yes, as it has been the case in the recent past, this two political events will be held in the same day, the effect of an earlier planning as well as of the stability of Luxemburg governments (for me, as an Italian, any governments lasting the full five years is nothing short of extremely stable!). These two events, apparently so distant, have a lot in common. This commonality has a lot to do with perception.
The Fête de l'Europe (or Europe Day) -edition 2009 is coming soon. In Luxembourg, this European anniversary is celebrated at Place d'Armes on Saturday 9 May from 11 a.m. onwards. Join in for food, music and discover different information stands about the European Union. This year, the Fête de l'Europe is placed under the umbrella of- how could it not be - multilingualism.

Schengen- yes I have already heard that word. Doesn’t it stand for the liberty of free movement in the European Union? I guess, most Europeans have already come across this word once or twice. But what is actually Schengen? Is it a person? A “famous” European politician? The name of a big European city? No, it isn’t...
