Volt Europa

Volt Europa (frequently abbreviated 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.[7] 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.[8]

History

Volt Europa was founded on 29 March 2017 by Andrea Venzon, along with Colombe Cahen-Salvador and Damian Boeselager, on the same day that the United Kingdom formally announced its intention to leave the European Union under Article 50 TEU. According to the trio, Volt's foundation was a reaction to growing populism in the world as well as to Brexit.[9][10] In March 2018, the first national subsidiary party was founded in Hamburg, Germany. Volt has since established local teams in every EU member state with and is registered as a legal party in a number of these countries. The subsidiary with the most members is Italy, the home country of Andrea Venzon.[11] Today, the movement is claimed to have 25,000 members and supporters in more than 30 European countries.[12] Around 70% of the current members are reported to not have been politically active before joining Volt.[13]

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.[14]

From 22 to 24 March 2019 Volt Europa hosted its first European Congress in Rome,[15] 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), Marcella Panucci (Director General of the General Confederation of Italian Industry), Sandro Gozi (President of the Union of European Federalists) and Antonio Navarra (President of the Mediterranean Center for Climate Change).

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.[16] 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.

From 12 to 13 October 2019 Volt Europa hosted its General Assembly meeting in Sofia, to elect the new Board of Volt Europa. The movement elected former Volt Deutschland President Valerie Sternberg 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, Bruno Sánchez-Andrade Nuño (es), Sofia Gentiloni Silveri, Joel Boehme and Cornelia-Florina German.[17]

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.[18][19]

Name

Volt Europa was incorporated as a non-profit association in Luxembourg under the name Volt Europa,[20] abandoning a previous name of Vox Europe to avoid any confusion with a similarly named far-right Spanish party.[21] "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).[22]

Ideology and policies

Volt auto-defined (in 2018) what it called The 5+1 fundamental challenges[23] which are:

Economically, Volt Europa supports digitisation, investment in the green and blue economy, the fight against poverty and inequality (also with the establishment of a European minimum wage), a more unified European tax system and the public-private partnerships to revive economic growth and reduce unemployment; it also supports solid investments on welfare policies, in particular related to education and healthcare[23] Socially, Volt supports anti-sexism, anti-racism and LGBT+ rights. Institutionally, it supports vast reforms of the European Union: a common management of migratory phenomena, a European army and eurobonds.[24][25][23] Volt says that in the long term, the relationship between the EU and NATO needs to be reviewed.[26]

In media reporting, the organisation is described as aiming to foster democracy on the EU level. It stresses the importance of a united European voice that is heard in the world.[27] Also, it supports the idea of a federated Europe with a strong European Parliament in which the citizens become the very center of European democracy.[28][29]

Volt is distinct from other pro-European movements such as Pulse of Europe or the European Federalists as it 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.[30][31]

"Volt Deutschland" is Volt's registered political party in Germany since 2018, allowing it to compete in elections within Germany.[46] Volt Deutschland's basic programme is based upon a policies proposal, which is also fundamental for Volt Europe.[47] The initial focus will be on five "challenges" which Volt Deutschland wants to address at local, regional and national level, namely "an intelligent state, social equality, economic renaissance, politically active citizenship" and "global balance". In addition to these, it seeks to implement an overarching policy of transnational EU reform in accordance with the programmes of both Volt Deutschland and Volt Europa.[47] Volt Deutschland's programme for the 2019 European elections 2019 is identical to that of all other European sections. It was adopted as the "Amsterdam Declaration" by all Volt sections in October 2018.[47]

In the 2019 European Election "Volt Deutschland" gained 248 824 votes which is equivalent to 0.7% of total votes in Germany. As front runner Damian Freiherr von Boeselager got one of the 96 seats from delegates from Germany in the European Parliament.[48][49]
"Volt Deutschland" was especially strong in German cities. With 2.9% the highest percentage of votes was gained in the city of Heidelberg. In Munich and Karlsruhe "Volt Germany" gained 2.2% of the votes. In the two largest German cities, Berlin and Hamburg, Volt's vote share was 1.2%.[50]

During the local elections taking place on the same day as the 2019 European Parliament elections, Volt received 1.2% of the votes for the election to the City Council in Mainz, gaining 1 seat.[51][52]

On 15 March 2020 during the Bavarian Local Elections, ''Volt Deutschland'' won 2.1% of the vote in Bamberg, securing 1 seat, and also won 1.8% of the vote in Munich, also securing 1 seat there.[53][54] In Munich, Volt created a joint faction with the Social Democrats and entered the governing coalition of the city.[55][56]

On 13 September 2020, "Volt Deutschland" participated in the North-Rhine-Westphalia Local Elections, gaining at least one seat in the councils of seven cities, Cologne, Bonn, Aachen, Siegen, Münster, Düsseldorf and Paderborn. Volt was particularly strong in the cities of Cologne and Bonn, where it got 4,98% of the votes in Cologne giving 4 seats and 5,07% in Bonn, giving 3 seats.[57][58]

Portugal

Running under the name "Volt Portugal" in Portugal, the movement submitted more than nine thousand signatures needed for the legalisation of a political party in the country.[64] A final decision by the Constitutional Court approved Volt Portugal as the 25th party of the country in June 2020 after the case lasted over half a year; a move that made the chapter Volt's 14th registered national party.[65]

Volt Portugal's president Tiago Gomes initially planned to establish the legal requirements of the party before the elections on the Azores in Autumn 2020, a plan which had to be abandoned due to a slow approval process by the Constitutional Court.[66][67] According to the chapter's president, this will only be reconsidered by Volt Portugal in case a 2nd wave of the COVID-19 pandemic forces the elections to be postponed.[68]

Sweden

''Volt Sverige'' is Volt's registered political party in Sweden. The party gained 146 votes in the 2019 European Parliament election.[69]

Switzerland

In Switzerland, Volt Europa reports regular meetings in Geneva and Zurich.[70] However, it is not registered as a party, and nor does it take part in elections, partly because Switzerland is not a member of the European Union.
