The Dutch Sophie in ‘t Veld and the German Damian Boeselager lead the list of the transnational party called Volt in the European Parliament elections. According to the plans, they will start in sixteen countries at the same time.
“Everywhere we have the same name and image. And we only have one program for the European elections, there is no separate program for Portugal, Spain or Germany,” explained Boeselager.
Volt aims to deepen European integration, for example by setting up a common army, as well as the fight against climate change, support for innovation and setting up a fairer society. The election program you can watch it here.
“We have two months to convince people not to vote for extremists, but for pro-European, progressive, optimistic politics,” said Sophie in ‘t Veld, whose name may be familiar to Hungarians who follow public life, as the Dutch politician he is considered one of the most active critics of the Orbán government in the EU.
Volt representatives will join the liberal Renew Europe or the Greens party family if they get into the EP. According to the plans, they will decide which party they will choose by voting. However, it is already clear that they do not support Ursula von der Leyen in becoming the President of the European Commission for another term.
