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

Federal Europa

Make decisions together!

The European Union is our common project. After centuries of conflict, we have created a Union that has ensured peace and prosperity and we can be proud of this achievement. The EU has limitations, which is why Volt advocates for institutional reforms.

  1. We want to remove the European Council from the EU.

  2. MEPs must be able to present legislative proposals.

  3. A joint foreign minister and president, elected by the people

  4. Transparency and strengthened democracy for the citizens of Europe

  5. This is NOT the United States of Europe, we are Europe and we see strength in our diversity.

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.
