  May 2, 2012 : On April 24th, the European Ombudsman gathered major European leaders such as José Manuel Barroso (President of the European Commission), Martin Schulz (President of the European Parliament) and and Helle Thorning-Schmidt (Prime Minister of Denmark, President of the Council of the EU) in Brussels. They discussed about winning the citizen's trust.
  
  

  As the European Ombudsman, N. Nikiforos Diamandouros would like to hear from every citizen. As a result, his office is focusing on social media for a long time. Finally, the seminar “Europe in Crisis: the Challenge of Winning the Citizens’ Trust” seemed to be the perfect first occasion to involve citizens in the debate thanks to Twitter.

  
  The European Ombudsman decided to install a TweetWall in the room of the European Parliament in Brussels, where the seminar took place on April 24th. The idea behind was to make people tweet, share their points of view and ask their question whether they were in the room or not.
