What are Volt's political goals? / The Future of Europe

Economy and taxes

Fair and European

A good economy creates stability and provides opportunities for new people entering into the economy. We have seen a financial crises, a housing bubbles, inflation and negative interest rates. We need to think in new ways in the Danish economy.

  • Differentiated VAT

  • Regulate the banks lending to avoid a new housing bubble.

  • Reduce the interest deduction and eliminate interest-free loans.

  • Increase the tax on cigarettes and alcohol.

  • Denmark should join the banking union to strengthen the control with crossborder financial markets. 

  • We need to revisit our budget law, and improve our macro economic toolkit.

  • We support a european minimum tax on companies that operate in multiple european countries.

  • Reform the ECB and expand its mandate.

The 5+1 Challenges

Volt has defined 5+1 fundamental Challenges that need to be tackled in each European country and in Europe as a whole.

Why 5 + 1 Challenges?

The 5 Challenges are basically the same for every country, but their implementation can be adapted on the national level to take into account local realities.

The +1 Challenge – our proposal to reform and strengthen the EU – is identical across all our national programmes.
