News Highlights
Why We Need to Embrace a Multi-Speed Europe
Opinion article by Reinier van Lanschot, Volt MEP. The EU is like a car with square wheels. It only starts moving when a lot of pressure builds, and when it does, it's sudden, bumpy, and hard to predict how long the wheels will turn.
Why We Need to Embrace a Multi-Speed Europe
Volt's path to digital sovereignty
Relying on American hyperscalers is not sustainable for Volt. We are committed to transitioning completely to European and open-source solutions. In this post, we transparently share what we've done, what we're doing, and where we still need to take steps.
Volt's path to digital sovereignty
Hungary’s election is a turning point that should mark the start of change also for the EU
Stop settler terrorism, displacement, and annexation in Occupied Palestine
Iranians deserve a legitimate intervention from the international community
Building a European Army in three steps: it's naïve to be against!
Volt’s Call for European Independence: Time to Build the United States of Europe

Our Programme
At Volt, we believe that the way the EU functions internally and how it projects its global responsibilities externally need a radical evolution. Climate change, conflicts, overcrowded camps, and societal resistance demand immediate action. Together, with people—be they Europeans, migrants, or refugees—at the centre of our aspirations, we can build a future that is thriving for all.
Political themes
Themes
The EU on the Global Stage
In a world that is changing drastically, Volt wants the EU to become an actor for a fairer, more sustainable and more equal world. To achieve this, the EU needs to reform itself and its structures to speak with one voice and act as a true union. Only then will we be capable of playing a significant role on the global stage.
Thriving Together
No-one should be left behind in Europe, but according to the European Commission, factors such as wealth, education level and social status heavily influence our chances at well-being. Volt is committed to fighting discrimination, improving social mobility, and building a society in which we can all thrive. Quality public services and the highest standards of protection, both on and offline, are crucial for building a prosperous Europe.
A more humane and safe asylum system
Europe’s current asylum system is dysfunctional. It leads to refugees and asylum seekers enduring distressing conditions, and being left in legal limbo. There is an urgent need for change. Volt aims to introduce a fair relocation system, protect the human rights of vulnerable individuals, and create safe regular pathways for refugees.
Empowering European Democracy
Volt is committed to creating a more democratic and fairer EU that tackles modern challenges. We will build a system that prioritises the interest of over 500 million citizens, transcending the constraints of national politics, and strengthening trust in the European project, through an informed citizenry and a robust and transparent European media landscape.
An ambitious climate agenda for Europe
Climate change is already here. To mitigate its effects, we need to eliminate greenhouse emissions and transition to a greener economy. Volt has a holistic plan for that. Starting from the Paris Agreement targets, we envision a zero-carbon future with sustainable buildings, empowered energy communities and decentralised energy systems that work for all Europeans.
