Volt Europa

🤔 Ever wondered how the MEPs that represent you actually vote? You can now immediately see their voting history by visiting www.VoteMap.eu and browsing by country, session or a specific law. The VoteMap was created by Mikuláš Peksa, who has recently joined Volt 💜. Tell us in the comments what unexpected facts you have uncovered about the MEPs from your country – we read it all!

When leaders like Le Pen face justice, their parties don’t reflect but radicalise, reframing criminal prosecution as political persecution. And even worse, they gain ground by feeding distrust and extremism. The cost of impunity is paid by the citizens, while the benefits are cashed by the corrupt. We’re watching a dangerous story of populism and radicalisation unfold – not just in France, but across democracies worldwide. At Volt, we refuse to look away.

🇺🇸 As the US raises tariffs and turns to protectionism and unpredictability, the EU has a unique opportunity to lead with clarity and purpose. 🇪🇺 By turning trade challenges into momentum for strong global partnerships and green innovation, we should invest in a Europe that thrives on cooperation, not conflict.

Volt turned 8 today. We were 3 when we started. Now we are 30,000 (*10k) In 8 years (2033) we could be 300,000,000 (*10k) Why should you be part of it? Because authoritarian nationalists are gaining on us. And it's more fun imagining and fighting for a better future together. Thanks to everyone who helped along the way. You are the reason we are where we are today. Thank you.

Today, and every day, we are all about you. 💜 Happy Volt birthday to all of us! 🎉 Join here volt.team/simple-join/en 💜 Francesca Romana D'Antuono Mels Klabbers Susana Carneiro Inês Bravo Figueiredo Marina Rrika Alessia Ruta Volt Portugal Volt Deutschland Volt Italia Volt Nederland Volt Shqipëri - Albania Volt Luxembourg Volt Enschede

Trump has abruptly cut the USAID programme, stripping away billions in foreign aid. This isn’t just numbers – it’s people, especially children, losing access to food, education, and healthcare in real time. Meanwhile, EU member states and the European Commission are slashing foreign aid due to budget constraints and short-term populist narratives. 👉 Volt is pushing for a joint EU strategy which protects human rights. Read our full article on how foreign aid is collapsing worldwide and why the world needs a European Development Agency: https://loom.ly/T5MIruY 🔗
