Hi Fediverse!๐Ÿ‘‹ We're Volt Europa, a pan-European political party building a federal, green, and progressive Europe. ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ

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.

Now, let's be honest. We know what it looks like when organisations show up, cross-post for two weeks, and disappear. We don't want to be that. But we're a small team with limited resources, so we need this to work both ways.

Engage with us. Challenge us. Tell us what you want to see from a European political party in this space. Help us make this worth it, for all of us.

This is the start of a conversation, not a campaign. Let's talk. ๐Ÿ’œ

@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! 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.

Shine 29 - Our plan for the next 5 years

Volt Europa

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.
