Vi skal bruge en fælles forsvarsstyrke i EU, og det skal være nu.
Hvordan skal vi ellers forsvare os mod Putin, og mod Trump?

Hey Europe, this is dumb.
We need a European defense union now!
Also, which European country would you want to raise their hand to host the World Cup matches instead of USA?
It's a discussion we have to have.
Hey Europe, wanna kick your US addiction? Here’s how: volteuropa.org/news/3-point...
Donald Trump sends out Valentine’s Day cards with a heart around Greenland.
That kind of emotional manipulation should raise a lot of red and white flags.

A six-panel meme using scenes from the Beckham documentary. On the left, Victoria Beckham is sitting on a sofa, and on the right, David Beckham peeks his head out from behind a door frame. The logo of the political party "Volt" is in the top right corner. Panel 1: Victoria says, "We want to process asylum requests faster." Panel 2: David peeks in and says, "Be honest." Panel 3: Victoria continues, "We want to send migrants to 'safe' third countries..." Panel 4: David insists, "Tell me the truth." Panel 5: Victoria admits, "People will be deported to countries they have no link with." Panel 6: David looks down and says, "Thank you."
With the excuse of protecting national interests and being more efficient, the EU will deport asylum seekers. This is not the EU we want. We stand for a welcoming, humane Europe – one rooted in solidarity, dignity, and shared responsibility.

NATO is dead, and Europe lacks a credible defense strategy. We need radical new policy, for the defense of Ukraine, the EU and European values.
Volt has a three-step plan for a European Nato: volteuropa.org/news/3-point...
Another tragedy in the mediterranean: 53 people, including two babies, dead or missing.
This could have been avoided. Europe needs to establish safe pathways for refugees, and a more humane and safe asylum system.

18% of the adult population of Copenhagen are foreign EU citizens. If (hypothetically) they all voted for the same political party, it would be equal in votes to SF, the party of the mayor.

Why are our institutions still on a platform that creates nudes of women, produces child pornography? What’s next- broadcasting our plenary speeches on Pornhub?
61% of Italians agree with Volt: The EU needs to federalize now
A European Army is not naive- it is the only thing that will keep us safe 🇪🇺
Volt has been talking about a European Army for years. Now the rest of Europe is finally catching up. 27 little armies will never fight as well or as efficiently as one European Army. Enough talk- let’s start building it
It's a pretty good time to be part of the world's largest customs union.
Fancy joining, Canada?
Close-up, high-contrast grayscale image of a man's face (Donald Trump) with the flag of Greenland superimposed over his eyes. The text reads: "STATES $\neq$ COMPANIES", "TERRITORIES $\neq$ PRODUCTS", and "A PEOPLE $\neq$ A TRADING ASSET", with the "not equal" signs highlighted in red.
An infographic featuring a map of Greenland covered in multi-colored dots representing various mineral deposits like Copper, Gold, and Rare earths. Text at the top reads: "IT IS NOT ABOUT SECURITY. IT IS NOT ABOUT RESOURCES. IT IS ABOUT SOVEREIGNTY". Callout boxes highlight the Pituffik Space Base, Denmark's NATO alliance, and Greenland's openness to trade without coercion.
Dark purple gradient background with bold text reading "APPEASEMENT $\neq$ STRATEGY". Below, the text explains that a Europe that looks away will be pressured again, while strategic autonomy is a "pro-European responsibility". Key words like "again," "shapes its own future," and "pro-European responsibility" are highlighted in red and yellow.
Dark purple gradient background with large, bold white text stating: "GREENLAND, ITS PEOPLE AND EUROPEAN SOVEREIGNTY ARE NOT FOR SALE". The word "NOT" is highlighted in red. A yellow button at the bottom contains a link icon and the text: "Read our full statement (link in description)".

Postponing the Mercosur agreement is the wrong decision for Europe. Volt's 5 MEPs voted against postponing.

After a year of ass-kissing, it is time to change strategy.

Europe just woke up from a nap and somehow everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place
