🔌VOLT - Small Parties - EU Election 2024
Who is VOLT? What do they aim to achieve? Where do they stand on issues like a European army, education, and climate change? Interview with Christian Penninger 🔌
Volt Deutschland is the German branch of the European party Volt Europa. In the last European election, they received 0.7% of the votes, securing a seat in the European Parliament.
In June 2024, the EU Parliament might be elected for the last time in Germany without a threshold clause, meaning without a percentage hurdle. This means that perhaps for the last time, small parties also have a chance to enter the parliament. We want the voices of these small parties to be heard as well.
In this interview, we speak with the European candidate of Volt Deutschland: Christian Penninger. The conversation took place on March 9, 2024.
