Volt Europa (frequently abbreviated as Volt) is a pro-European and European federalist political movement that also serves as the pan-European structure for subsidiary parties in several EU member states. Volt candidates stood on a common, pan-European manifesto in eight member states at the European Parliament elections in May 2019. The organisation follows a "pan-European approach" in many policy fields such as climate change, migration, economic inequality, international conflict, terrorism and the impact of the technological revolution on the labour market.[8]

It was founded on 29 March 2017. In March 2018, the first national subsidiary party was founded in Hamburg, Germany. Volt has since established local teams in every EU member state, and is registered as a legal party in several of these countries.[7]

History[]

Foundation[]

Volt Europa was founded on 29 March 2017 by , and Damian Boeselager, on the same day that the United Kingdom formally announced its intention to leave the European Union under Article 50 TEU.[9][10][11] According to their own statement, Volt's foundation was a reaction to growing populism in the world as well as to Brexit.[12][13] Venzon became founding President, Boeselager Vice President, and Cahen-Salvador policy leader.[14][15][10]

First European Parliament election (2019)[]

From 27 to 28 October 2018 Volt Europa hosted its General Assembly meeting in Amsterdam, agreeing its Amsterdam Declaration, which also served as its manifesto programme for the European Parliament elections.[16] The party previously gathered in Berlin, Bucharest, and Paris.

From 22 to 24 March 2019 Volt Europa hosted its first European Congress in Rome,[17] presenting its candidates for the 2019 European Parliament election. The keynote speakers list included Paolo Gentiloni (former Prime Minister of Italy and President of the Italian Democratic Party), Emma Bonino (Italian senator and former European Commissioner for Health and Food Safety), Enrico Giovannini (former Italian Government minister), (Director General of the General Confederation of Italian Industry), Sandro Gozi (President of the Union of European Federalists) and (President of the ).

During the European Parliament elections in May 2019 the party won one seat by winning 0.7 percent of votes in Germany, with Damian Boeselager its first Member of the European Parliament.[18]

On 9 June 2019, following a pan-European vote of party members, Volt elected to join the Greens–European Free Alliance group in the European Parliament.[19] In the future, Volt hopes to be able to form its own political group in the European Parliament, which would require a minimum of 25 MEPs from at least seven different member states.

Election of new board and first pan-European digital assembly (2019–2020)[]

Reinier van Lanschot, Volt Europa's co-president (together with Valerie Sternberg of Volt Germany) since 2019

From 12 to 13 October 2019, Volt Europa hosted its general assembly in Sofia to elect the new board of Volt Europa. The movement elected former Volt Deutschland president and the former MEP lead candidate of Volt Nederland, Reinier van Lanschot, as co-presidents of Volt Europa. The newly elected treasurer is the former MEP candidate of Volt Luxembourg Julia Pitterman. The elected non-executive board members consist of Konrad Ritter, Eileen O'Sullivan, (es), Sofia Gentiloni Silveri, Joel Boehme and Cornelia-Florina German.[20]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Volt did not host its Spring 2020 general assembly in Lisbon as planned, but instead became the first pan-European political movement to publicly host a digital general assembly, including a vote on its programme until 2024.[21][22]

First involvement in national politics (2021)[]

Laurens Dassen, Leader of Volt Netherlands in the House of Representatives (Netherlands)

Volt contested the 2021 Dutch general election, with Laurens Dassen leading the party list. Volt Netherlands ultimately won 2.4% of votes, their best national performance in any election to date, and three seats, marking their first entrance into a national legislature.[23][24]

Volt Bulgaria participated in all three Bulgarian parliamentary elections in 2021 as part of the anti-government coalitions ISMV and later PP. The first coalition won seats in both elections but none of them were allocated to members of Volt.[25] However, the second coalition won more seats, with Volt taking two seats in the Bulgarian National Assembly.

Volt UK's Scottish branch, Volt Scotland, formed an electoral pact with Renew Scotland, which saw candidates from Volt Scotland joining the Renew party list for the 2021 Scottish Parliament election.[26] For the Scottish Parliament elections, Volt joined Renew in calling for a multiple-choice referendum on the issue of Scottish independence.[27] Renew candidates received 493 votes or 0.02% of the vote for their regional lists and failed to return any MSPs.[28]

From 16 to 17 October 2021, Volt Europa hosted its General Assembly in Lisbon, Portugal. It was the first physical General Assembly since 2019. During the 2021 General Assembly, Reinier van Lanschot who has been Co-President since the General Assembly in Sofia 2019 was reelected. Francesca Romana D'Antuono from Italy was elected as co-president. Johannes Heinrich from Switzerland was elected as treasurer. The six non-executive board members elected were: Ines Consonni, Anouk Ooms, Lucia Nass, Thor Larholm, Charles Evain and Lucas Amorelli Ribeiro Kornexl.

Name[]

Volt Europa was incorporated as a non-profit association in Luxembourg under the name Volt Europa,[29] abandoning a previous name of Vox Europe to avoid any confusion with a similarly named far-right Spanish party.[30] "Volt" was chosen as a name due to its similarity to the initial name and the added meaning of figuratively bringing voltage into politics. Added to that, both the term "Volt" and the Latin version of name of the European continent have in common that they are understood in all European languages, hence as a transcontinental movement Volt Europa loses the need to adopt translations of its own name, except for languages where non-Latin alphabets are used (like Bulgaria and Greece).[31]

Ideology and policies[]

In 2018, Volt identified "the 5+1 fundamental challenges":[32]

  • A smart state – Digitalisation of public services
  • Economic renaissance – a blend of circular, green and blue economic models
  • Social equality – Human rights, equality of opportunity, gender equality, and tolerance of cultural differences
  • Global balance – Sustainable and responsible policies in farming and trade, measures to address climate change and refugee crises, and support for labour migration and development cooperation
  • Citizen empowerment – Greater subsidiarity, social responsibility, and participatory democracy
  • +1 European reform – Federation of EU states, with greater responsibilities for its regions and cities

On economic issues, Volt Europa supports digitisation, investment in the green and blue economy, measures to address poverty and inequality (including a European minimum wage), a more integrated European tax system, and the use of public-private partnerships; it also supports increased spending on welfare, in particular related to education and healthcare.[32] On social policy, Volt opposes sexism and racism and supports LGBT+ rights. It also supports deep reforms to EU institutions, including common management of migration, a European army, and eurobonds.[33][34][32] Volt argues that the relationship between the EU and NATO should be reviewed in the long term.[35]

Volt supports the idea of a federal Europe with a strong European Parliament,[36][37] in order to create a united European voice on the global stage.[38]

Unlike other pro-European movements, such as Pulse of Europe or the European Federalists, Volt aims to participate in European, local and national elections through its subsidiary organisations in EU member states. Its first major objective was the European Parliament elections in May 2019.[39][40]

Germany[]

Further information: Volt Germany

Volt Deutschland became a registered political party in Germany in 2018, allowing it to compete in German elections.[57] Volt Deutschland's basic programme is based upon a policies proposal, which is also fundamental for Volt Europa.[58] The German branch's initial focus was the five "challenges" of "an intelligent state, social equality, economic renaissance, politically active citizenship" and "global balance". It also seeks to implement an overarching policy of transnational EU reform in accordance with the programmes of both Volt Deutschland and Volt Europa.[58] Volt Deutschland's programme for the 2019 European elections 2019 was identical to that of all other European sections. It was adopted as the "Amsterdam Declaration" by all Volt sections in October 2018.[58]

In the 2019 European Election "Volt Deutschland" received 248,824 votes, 0.7% of the total votes in Germany. As a result, Volt Deutschland's leading candidate Damian Boeselager won one of Germany's 96 seats in the European Parliament.[59][60]

Volt Deutschland has won individual seats on a number of city councils. In local elections occurring the same day as the European Elections in 2019, Volt received 1.2% of the votes for the election to the City Council in Mainz, winning 1 seat.[61][62] In Bavaria's 2020 local elections, the party won one seat each in Bamberg and Munich.[63][64] In Munich, Volt subsequently became part of the governing coalition with the Social Democrats.[65][66] Later that year, the party won seats on the city councils of Cologne, Bonn, Aachen, Siegen, Münster, Düsseldorf, and Paderborn. Volt was particularly strong in Cologne and Bonn, where it received around 5% of the votes, resulting in four and three seats, respectively.[67][68] In March 2021, the party also won seats in Darmstadt, Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, Fulda and Heusenstamm in the 2021 Hessian local elections.[69] The 6.5% vote share in Darmstadt, to win five of the 71 seats, was the party's best ever result in a German council.[70]
