What we stand for
Fact-based. Pragmatic. Progressive.
We stand for solution-oriented and future-oriented politics throughout Europe. Because national politics reaches its limits when faced with the challenges of our time. We think European and want to use synergies to enable everyone to live a better life.
Our vision:
A united Europe with a federal democracy.
The 5+1 challenges
Volt has defined 5+1 fundamental challenges that need to be addressed in every European country and in Europe as a whole.
Why 5 + 1 challenges?
The 5 challenges are essentially the same for each country, but their implementation can be adapted at the national level to take into account local circumstances.
Challenge No. +1 - our proposal to reform and strengthen the EU - is identical in all our national programs. Here in Switzerland, our relations with the EU are the focus.
