Commissioned work for Helsingin Sanomat, 2019

In Brussels, European Union summits are traditionally held when Finland celebrates Midsummer. In 2019, EU leaders met to reflect on the future leaders of the Union and talk about tackling climate change. Managers eat dinner that starts two hours late and lasts four hours. At 1.40 p.m., the meeting ends. Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission, will take the stage of the press conference and say that no one should be present at the press conference anymore.
