The main heading, "What is a Europarty?" is written in bold white and yellow text inside a blue rectangular box. Below the heading, the text explains that a European Political Party (EUPP), also called a "Europarty," is NOT the same as a European Parliament Group. The word "NOT" is underlined in red for emphasis.

It shares common values and policies across Europe. It is officially recognised by the EU. It is eligible for public funding.

The main heading, "What are we missing?" is written in bold white text inside a blue rectangular box. Below the heading, the text states that Volt needs a minimum of 7 elected officials in either regional, national, or European parliaments to qualify as a Europarty. The phrase "minimum of 7 elected officials" is highlighted in yellow. A smaller blue box labeled "where we are today" is placed in the center. Below, three yellow sections list Volt’s current elected officials: European Level – Icons represent five elected officials. National Level – Icons represent four elected officials. Regional Level – No icons, indicating a lack of elected officials at this level. At the bottom, an orange-bordered box states that Volt has 200+ officials at a local level across 6 countries, but they do not count towards becoming a Europarty! The phrase "do not count towards becoming a Europarty!" is emphasised in bold white text. A white arrow icon in the bottom right suggests navigation for more information.

Statue of Liberty.

Raphaël Glucksmann.

French MEP Raphaël Glucksmann suggests that the U.S. should return the Statue of Liberty:

“We’re going to say to the Americans who have chosen to side with the tyrants: ‘Give [it back.] We gave it to you as a gift, but apparently you despise it. So it will be just fine here at home.”

All stations have escalators and about 90% have lifts

As a tourist with luggage it's awful. Much more accessible here in Brussels

Tbf it's easier to know you're going to be on time that way

The world has changed and Europe must strengthen itself. We sent 9 concrete demands to national leaders ahead of the summit on Thursday to achieve that goal.

The worst thing is that we've been saying this for years that we would be alone if there were to be a second Trump term, but leaders are just waking up now...

Latest poll for the upcoming Hamburg elections, FDP and BSW so low they are not even listed

Le problème des voitures de société c'est que c'est une mesure fédérale et donc le gouvernement bruxellois ne peut rien y faire

Can I just say how stupid it is for a sociological institution to do this.

Sociology of all departments should consider the impacts of gender dynamics related to individuals and broader society.

It’s one of the basis of sociology!

Réduire les émissions c'est pas une politique progressiste?

En quoi les LEZ sont incompatibles avec la gauche?
