Could you share what this means to you, please, and what steps you would take to get there?

So. That went well.
We asked you to engage, challenge us, and tell us what you want. You absolutely did. Thank you.
We've bookmarked every question and reply. No one is being ignored. We're working through them one by one, and we'd rather give you good answers than fast ones.
Keep them coming. More to come.

Hi Fediverse!
We're Volt Europa, a pan-European political party building a federal, green, and progressive Europe. 
We believe in digital sovereignty, transparency, and putting people before platforms. Sound familiar? That's precisely why we're here.
We're not just looking for another channel to broadcast on. We chose this space because it reflects what we stand for: open, decentralised, and community-driven. We want to be part of this, not just present on it.

@VoltEuropa that's interesting. I still have to answer a MEP from Volt who answered one of my e-mails to #LeaveX.
It would be great if members of the party came here! Mainly after leaving X.

@sublimity what is the source of this picture? What is your message?

@dotmavriq Thanks for asking! The "Shine 29" strategy is our roadmap for 2024 to 2029: https://volteuropa.org/shine-2029-our-plan-for-the-next-5-years
We focus on transforming the EU into a truly democratic federal state.:
1. Smart State: Digitalising public services and investing in education.
2. Economic Renaissance: A circular, green, and innovative economy.
3. Social Equality: Ending discrimination and ensuring equal opportunities.
4. Global Balance: Promoting peace, security, and climate justice globally.(1/2)
5. Citizen Empowerment: Using citizen assemblies to give you a direct voice.
+1: EU Reform: Building a federal democracy with an elected government and a European Army.Regarding "not at all costs": Volt advocates for the **principle of subsidiarity**. Decisions should be made at the most local level possible. We also propose a **European Constitution** to protect member states from democratic backsliding and ensure clear safeguards for national identities within the federation.

@VoltEuropa Ok sure, bring it on!
I've seen you guys at Portuguese campuses and what not and I've followed Varoufakis enough to have a gist of what you are about...but:
What is the action plan for the next 5 years. What are the critical axioms you unite under and priority undertakings. I mean getting the sovereign nations of Europe to formally unite is a BIG undertaking that I'd be down with on paper, but not at all costs.@dotmavriq Thanks for asking!

@VoltEuropa Hello, I am an Italian, European, World's citizen. In theory. But, I'm blind from birth.
As you are a political party, I would like to talk to you about politics-related matters. All over the world I think, for us blind people there's a crucial matter: VOTING is not 100 percent accessible. There's assisted vote, you go to the cabin with a trusted person. But everyone knows that TRUST is not a safety measure. It's not always that a person you trust, shares your same political ideas.
And even if I tell the assistant "please vote A, for me", I can not prove, never prove, if they could have voted B, instead.
Electronic vote is not to consider, as every system has their vulnerabilities. Braille can't be used as not every blind person knows it, especially those who lost their sight when adult, or in later age.And? Then, let me express a doubt in another complex issue Europe has: I hardly believe in the possibility of "united states of Europe" because Europe has NEVER HAD a common language. Paradoxically, the standard spoken language is English, but we inherited it from UK first, .USA after. And those zones are politically off Europe - British just since recent years. Even Esperanto, how could it succeed? Well, we can't talk about "united states" if there are those language conflicts - as far as I know, for example, France's population speak English less than others. Italian as well. English is better spoken from 1975-80 born and forwards.
Feel free to reply, then we can discuss whatever. -
