What does Volt stand for?

Empowering cooperation across generations and borders, we are shaping a European story of positive politics. Our approach transcends national boundaries, as we draw inspiration from the best European practices - including Utrecht's cycling infrastructure, Barcelona's urban planning and Vienna's model for affordable housing.

Grundlagen der Volt-Politik
Die Gesamtheit der Dokumente, die als Grundlage für unsere Politik dienen.
Alle Themen
Citizen Participation & Electoral Reform
Alle Themen
Mobility & Infrastructure
If Belgium and Europe want to be both economically and ecologically prosperous 15 years from now, we have to accelerate and increase investments in sustainable and resilient infrastructure, transport and mobility.
Alle Themen
Economy & Fiscal Justice
Our vision is to create a society in which everyone in need benefits from tax relief to make their daily expenses, such as groceries and outings, easier to bear. We aim to eliminate paternalistic practices, such as car subsidies and company cars. Furthermore, we strive for an economy that grows sustainably, benefiting people, health, the planet, and nature.
Alle Themen
Energy Transition & Climate
Global warming, the loss of biodiversity, and the pollution of air and water: climate change is causing increasing damage to humans and nature. Therefore, it is vital, among other things, to transition away from fossil fuels for the future of humanity and indeed the world as we know it. Volt proposes a pragmatic approach based on a combination of nuclear energy and renewable energies, with the latter taking a growing portion of our energy production over the years.
Alle Themen
Education & Equal Opportunities
Our European Union is founded upon the values of Respect for human dignity, Freedom, Democracy, Equality, Rule of law, and Respect for human rights, including those of minorities. To realise a society built on these values, Volt is committed to advance policies that lead to Belgium being a systematically inclusive society that offers equal opportunities for all. Systemic inclusion is of high importance as such a society would be beneficial to all Belgians.
Alle Themen
EU & Citizen Participation
Volt believes that a lot of issues are the same all over Europe (or even beyond) and need a European response. Therefore it would make sense to move competences from a national and regional, or even a local, level to the EU.

The 5+1 Challenges

Volt has defined 5+1 fundamental Challenges that need to be tackled in each European country and in Europe as a whole.

Why 5 + 1 Challenges?

The 5 Challenges are basically the same for every country, but their implementation can be adapted on the national level to take into account local realities.

The +1 Challenge – our proposal to reform and strengthen the EU – is identical across all our national programmes.
