 A bold digital graphic with a purple background features a blue ribbon with yellow stars, resembling the EU flag. The Volt Europa logo is positioned on the ribbon. The text in white and yellow reads: "AT VOLT WE WANT TO BECOME A EUROPARTY," with "EUROPARTY" highlighted in yellow and blue.

A digital graphic with a purple background features an informational post from Volt Europa. The Volt logo is displayed in white at the top right corner. The main heading, "What is a Europarty?" is written in bold white and yellow text inside a blue rectangular box.
Below the heading, the text explains that a European Political Party (EUPP), also called a "Europarty," is NOT the same as a European Parliament Group. The word "NOT" is underlined in red for emphasis.
The image lists key characteristics of a Europarty, with bullet points marked by small blue arrow icons:
It is a federation of national political parties across the EU.
It shares common values and policies across Europe.
It is officially recognised by the EU.
It is eligible for public funding.
At the bottom right corner, there is a white arrow icon indicating more information or navigation.

A digital graphic with a purple background features an informational post from Volt Europa. The Volt logo is displayed in white at the top right corner. The main heading, "What is a European Parliament Group then?" is written in bold white and yellow text inside a blue rectangular box.
Below the heading, the text explains that a European Parliament Group is:
A coalition of MEPs (Members of the European Parliament) from different parties that work together inside the European Parliament.
Further down, additional text states that “Volt aims to have its own European Parliament Group, and that the best way to achieve this is by becoming a Europarty!” The phrase is emphasised with a blue and yellow highlight.

A digital graphic with a purple background features an informational post from Volt Europa. The Volt logo is displayed in white at the top right corner. The main heading, "What are we missing?" is written in bold white text inside a blue rectangular box.
Below the heading, the text states that Volt needs a minimum of 7 elected officials in either regional, national, or European parliaments to qualify as a Europarty. The phrase "minimum of 7 elected officials" is highlighted in yellow.
A smaller blue box labeled "where we are today" is placed in the center.
Below, three yellow sections list Volt’s current elected officials:
European Level – Icons represent five elected officials.
National Level – Icons represent four elected officials.
Regional Level – No icons, indicating a lack of elected officials at this level.
At the bottom, an orange-bordered box states that Volt has 200+ officials at a local level across 6 countries, but they do not count towards becoming a Europarty! The phrase "do not count towards becoming a Europarty!" is emphasised in bold white text.
A white arrow icon in the bottom right suggests navigation for more information.

Statue of Liberty.

Statue of Liberty.

Raphaël Glucksmann.

Raphaël Glucksmann.

French MEP Raphaël Glucksmann suggests that the U.S. should return the Statue of Liberty:

“We’re going to say to the Americans who have chosen to side with the tyrants: ‘Give [it back.] We gave it to you as a gift, but apparently you despise it. So it will be just fine here at home.”

The world has changed and Europe must strengthen itself. We sent 9 concrete demands to national leaders ahead of the summit on Thursday to achieve that goal.

The worst thing is that we've been saying this for years that we would be alone if there were to be a second Trump term, but leaders are just waking up now...

Series of 6 bar charts showing the breakdown of global land. 45% of habitable land is used for farming. 80% of this is for livestock.

Series of 6 bar charts showing the breakdown of global land. 45% of habitable land is used for farming. 80% of this is for livestock.

Nearly half of the world’s habitable land is used for agriculture.

Of this global agricultural land, 80% is used for livestock, despite meat and dairy making up a much smaller share of the world's protein and calories.

Can I just say how stupid it is for a sociological institution to do this.

Sociology of all departments should consider the impacts of gender dynamics related to individuals and broader society.

It’s one of the basis of sociology!

The story behind a Saudi transgender woman's suicide - BBC World Service Documentaries
YouTube video by BBC World Service The story behind a Saudi transgender woman's suicide - BBC World Service Documentaries

Eden Knight was an incredible person who meant so much to so many of us. Her story, and the story of what evil and powerful men did to her, deserves to be heard. It demands to be heard.

So please watch this documentary. Please share it with your loved ones.

Bradford clean air zone saves NHS over £30,000 a month in first year After one year of the zone, which is the second largest in England, GP visits for respiratory illnesses were down by a quarter

Pendant sa 1ère année, la zone basses-émissions de Bradford (GB) a fait économiser au service national de santé 37000€ par mois en soins de santé. Pas seulement pour les gens qui vivent dans la zone. La LEZ est l'outil le + efficace contre la pollution de l'air 💪 www.theguardian.com/environment/...
