A red circle reads 'We haven't won a seat this time, but Volt received…' next to a white circle reading '8x more votes than last election!' The Volt party logo appears at the bottom.
It's not just inside the EU that Volt is growing. 🚀🇨🇭
Jan Holtkamp (Volt) received 8+ thousand votes in Zurich! While this was not enough to get him into the City Council, this result showed that more citizens want a pro-EU, progressive, and pragmatic force in their government. 💜

For years, one man has blocked Europe's progress. Now it's our turn. April 12 is our chance to veto Orbán. 🗳️
Volt is growing in Bavaria! 🚀
In 2020, our newly formed political party ran in only a few cities across the region. In 2026, we expanded — a lot! Volt has won seats in more cities than ever before and multiplied our presence where we were already active.

Women with children earn less, men with children earn more. This ‘motherhood penalty’ is one of the key reasons the gender pay gap still exists.
I worked with cross-party European colleagues on a report full of concrete recommendations to close the gap. Today, it got adopted today with a majority.
