Made the most of my sprint to Brussels to talk EU citizenship and the difficulties of mobile EU citizens to participate in elections: listened to @reiniervanlanschot.volteuropa.org ran into Mikuláš and Mattias from the Pirates and loaded up on chocolate 🍫 of course. Thanks for the invite, ECIT !

Thank you #EuropaNova and @guillaumeklossa.bsky.social for creating the Europe Power Initiative to build civil society pressure for a more powerful European Union with the Strasbourg Declaration 🇪🇺

A warm evening with Central European chapters, the first member motion to evolve our own paneuropean democracy, a freezing rally for change: Another @volteuropa.org GA in the books. Happy where we are, but we can do much more. Time to #jumpstartEU 💪

It's @volteuropa.org General Assembly this weekend and we're joining with @voltslovenija.org 🇸🇮. Of course I cannot go to Frankfurt without stopping by my nieces to get my hair done 😎
👉 GA livestream on volteuropa.org/frankfurt-ge...
👉 Tune in Sunday morning when I present the member motion I tabled.

Happy I made the trip to #Amsterdam to catch up with members of @voltnederland.org and I'm glad to see the Netherlands seemingly back on a pro-EU track. I did hope for a better result 😑 Our voice is very much needed if we want to go beyond talking about a stronger Europe. Next time.

Another weekend, another GA: I represented @voltslovenija.org 🇸🇮 on the @voltitalia.it 🇮🇹 GA in Mestre on Saturady. A great opportunity to connect, build links and I was happy to see many familiar and new faces. Need to work on my Italian. After Slovenian 😌
Good luck for the regional elections 🍀

Great 1st day at the @voltfrance.org General Assembly with the future, current and last co-presidents, the Board of @volteuropa.org as well as plenty of political guests. Tops for a real fireside chat 🔥, since we managed to shortcircuit the electricity at our venue. Very Volt 💜

Viola, passé par la #BraderieDeLille 🇫🇷 et les #Retrouvailles de Liège 🇧🇪 le même week-end. Beaucoup d’espoir dans des deux côtés de la frontière pour une Europe plus démocratique et puissante (et une meilleure liaison par train 🚅). On y bosse avec @voltfrance.org et @voltbelgium.org 💜

4 years ago, we planned with @leedseurope.bsky.social to join to the #BraderiedeLille to show citizens on both sides of the channel that the UK is welcome in the EU
I'm superhappy, you made the trip again. You contribute to being back in hearts already. Let's keep going until you're officially back

Two great days at the #BledStrategicForum #BSF2025
💚 for Slovenia 🇸🇮 & @nmusar pushing topics & values
💚 great panel on EU identity
💚 EU pep talk from accession candidates
❔ just a timid yes from Kaja Kallas if EU has geopolitical weight
❔ where was western Europe?

It's a fine line to walk for leaders in Meloni's "Europe of Nations": Arranging oneself with Putin while enamoured with Trump. Supporting the EU while plotting to dismantle it.

Very happy to represent @voltslovenija.org 🇸🇮 at the @voltoesterreich.org 🇦🇹 GA. I'm looking forward to working with the new Board - not only to protest against illegal border controls 👉 #Schengen but to showing together what role smaller EU member states can play to advance the European project 🇪🇺

Finally attended my first #BorderBall - the crossborder ⛺️ festival of @voltnederland.org & @voltdeutschland.org
A great moment with dedicated Volters to debate and have fun and an event to copy across Europe to reduce artificial borders other parties are erecting #DontTouchMySchengen 🚧

Yay, it's #May9th, #EuropeDay!
Time to swallow our blue pill to take solace as national parties will wave blue flags demanding a stronger EU.
Or, you could call the charade and acknowledge that with national parties, Europe is not gonna happen. Time for a red pill to reset the European project 🇪🇺
