Paris, January, 11th 2022 - Volt France wishes you all the best for the New Year. The health crisis that we are going through is unfortunately still topical; despite this period, we must remain vigilant and engage in all the necessary struggles for our country and Europe by being a force for proposals and by relying on the best practices of our European neighbours. In January, France takes over the Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
In 2021:
- Volt participated in various elections in France: for the first time we presented candidates in the regional elections in Ile-de-France, Hauts-de-France and Brittany, and in the departmental elections in Strasbourg and Aix-en-Provence.
- We won three seats in the Dutch Parliament, two in the Bulgarian Parliament, and municipal councillors in Portugal, Germany and Italy.
- Volt has supported causes with strong core values for ecology, human rights and European youth.
- In September, at our General Assembly in Strasbourg, we elected a new French board with for the first time a mixed co-presidency.
- In October, at our European General Assembly in Lisbon, we elected a new Volt Europa board with two French non-executive members.
In 2022:
- Volt France will enter into agreements with several political parties for the legislative elections and will present candidates in several constituencies.
- Volt will also be present in several elections across Europe: in Portugal, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands and Malta.
- We will continue to support causes with strong core values for the environment, the human condition, equality, justice, employment, health
- We will be even more committed to making the French Presidency of the Council of the European Union a real opportunity for France to build Europe, in particular through our White Paper to create a new European momentum.
In the new year 2022, Volt France is committed to continuing its actions to reinvigorate Europe by putting citizens at the heart of the democratic process.
