Today is World Mental Health Day. We are deeply concerned about the rising rates of mental health issues among our youth and adults. This worrying trend highlights the urgent need for comprehensive mental health support and policies. We are committed to proposing effective solutions to combat this crisis, like initiatives to identify early signs in schools, protecting digital well-being, and bridging gaps in child protection services. But what sets us truly apart? At Volt, we are one big cross-border community. No one has to struggle alone. Together, we can create an inclusive and supportive Europe where mental health is prioritised for all. Let’s raise our voices for mental health! 💚

A Progressive, Pragmatic and truly European Political Party with the same name, values and policies across Europe
About us
Volt is a pan-European, progressive movement that stands for a new and inclusive way of doing politics and that wants to bring real change to all European citizens. A new pan-European approach is needed to overcome current and future challenges, such as - among many others - climate change, economic inequality, migration, international conflict, terrorism, and the impact of the technological revolution on our jobs. National parties are powerless in front of these challenges, because they go beyond national borders and need to be tackled by us as Europeans, as one people. As a transnational party, we believe we can help the European people unite, create a shared vision and understanding, exchange good practices across the continent, and come up with policies together. A new way of doing politics, for a new millennium.

War is spreading in the Middle East. We call for a comprehensive ceasefire, the release of the hostages and international accountability. The consequences paid by civilians in Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Iran and wherever else the war spreads, are unacceptable. The EU must unite and step up its efforts to help bring peace.

As part of their new plan for Europe’s sustainable prosperity and competitiveness, the European Commission tasked Mario Draghi to draft a report on the future of European competitiveness. His report was published recently. What do we think of it? We support Draghi’s call for structural reforms aimed at boosting productivity, innovation & resilience, but there is more work to be done. One of the real challenges lies in the implementation, for which we have to act together. Let’s push for a more ambitious and comprehensive European mandate, and unite Europe! #draghi #volteuropa #europeancommission

Representation matters, and so does standing against discrimination. Let’s all work together to build a Europe where every voice is heard, and every person can thrive with dignity and equality. Join us in advocating for change and making a difference. Together, we can create a more inclusive future for all. 💪✨ #DisabilityRights #VoltEuropa #InclusionMatters #EqualityForAll #Paralympics
