    If this is supposed to be about the EU, why is the post in french?

    Only a small fraction of the EU speaks that.

      If you click the link, the site will automatically be translated into your language. But since the organisers are French, it will preview in French.

      I agree, that seems like an oversight

      That’s true for basically any European language though, right?

      And English is no longer the obvious lingua franca since the UK left

        I think English is still the most obvious choice as most people speak it as a second language. In fact I would want that EU wide kids learn English from grade 1 on and ideally we’d be all bilingual in a couple decades.
