3 years, 11 months agoA Progressive, Pragmatic and truly European Political Party with the same name, values and policies across Europe
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.

Volt delivers! 💜
Thanks to Volt Frankfurt's initiative alongside coalition partners, the city has adopted the Housing First model, a proven approach to ending homelessness by providing permanent housing as the first step to stability. This is a major step toward addressing homelessness. 🏡
📌 What is Housing First?
Unlike traditional approaches, Housing First focuses on placing homeless individuals in stable homes without preconditions. Once housed, individuals receive support tailored to their needs, such as mental health care, addiction services, or job training. With this approach, a stable home is the first step to a better life.
This is the Volt approach: long-term, evidence-based solutions, inspired by policy successes from across Europe! In this case, inspired by Finland’s success with Housing First! Think European, Act Local! 💡
🤯 In just 24 hours since being inaugurated, Trump’s second term was marked by a dark cloud over democracy. But Volt presents a bright alternative to his vision.

A ceasefire. An end to the devastation of this war may be imminent, but now the real political work for a sustainable and peaceful co-existence of the Israelis and Palestinians must start. The EU has tough questions to ask itself about the role it played and wants to play in the international realm. We believe that only if it acts with unity and humanity, it can play a major diplomatic role to end the cycle of violence. Read our full statement here: https://loom.ly/76W04yw.
✨ Wiesbaden is leading the way in digital innovation! ✨
Thanks to Volt Wiesbaden and the efforts of Maral Koohestanian the city's first Deputy Mayor for Smart City, Europe, and Order and Volt Deutschland Lead Candidate for the Bundestag election, Wiesbaden has become the first city in Germany to introduce online residency registration through video identification. 🎉
This service allows residents to register their addresses online from the comfort of their homes, eliminating the need for in-person visits. It’s a simple but major step forward in modernising governance, improving accessibility, and making life easier for citizens. 💻
And it doesn't stop there. The video identification process is an alternative option to the eID, ensuring that non-EU residents can also use this service! 🌍
This is an example of Volt's and Maral's commitment to progressive and forward-thinking solutions for cities across Europe. 🌟
💡 Why it matters?
-Simplifies bureaucracy for residents.
-Enhances accessibility for all, including those with mobility challenges.
-Strengthens digital inclusion, including for elderly people.
-Makes Wiesbaden a model city for digital governance. 💜
