Exciting news: Iceland will soon vote on restarting negotiations to join the EU!
Talks were paused in 2015. Now they’re back on the table
For years critics said the EU was collapsing after the UK left, but the opposite is happening
In an uncertain world, Europe is stronger when we work together 🇪🇺
104 years after independence, Ireland still relies on the UK to defend our skies and waters.
We spend less on defence than any other neutral country in Europe.
But if we can’t defend our own airspace, what’s the point of being neutral?
It's time for a serious conversation! 🇮🇪🇪🇺
War never changes.
It destroys homes.
It tears families apart.
It scars generations.
Every European country has witnessed what Ukraine is going through.
4 years after Russia’s illegal invasion, Ukrainians are still defending their country and their right to exist.
We stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦🇪🇺
Irish - a language once suppressed - is growing again.
Irish gained full EU status in 2022, and today thanks to EU funding and a cultural revival, almost 2 million people speak it.
Europe didn’t erase our identity - it protected it 🇮🇪🇪🇺
Happy International Mother Language Day!
Too much politics online lately? Let’s talk about it in a pub instead 🇮🇪 🇪🇺

Whether you’re a long-time member or just curious about Volt, you’re very welcome!
Come for the politics, stay for the craic!
Today the UK talked about rebuilding ties with Europe.
In Ireland, we know why it matters - Brexit is a daily reality in Northern Ireland, and its impact is felt across the Irish Sea.
EU membership helped heal old divides between our two countries too.
No hard feelings. The door’s open 🇬🇧❤️🇪🇺
New winter bug detected: Trumpitis 🦠
Spreads across the Atlantic.
Hits Europe fast.
Lasts longer than we’d like.
When America sneezes, Europe gets sick.
But there's a remedy - Vitamin EU 🇪🇺
Stronger together and immune to what America throws at us!

A new poll shows 85% of Greenlanders reject becoming part of the United States.
And when you compare life under Denmark vs the USA, it’s not hard to see why.
Greenland’s future must be decided by Greenlanders — not outside powers treating the Arctic like a prize. Europe & Denmark must stand firm!

Eurovision's motto is "United By Music", but how can we be united when one country is committing war crimes?
Ireland and other countries are now withdrawing from the Eurovision Song Contest. It's time we stop whitewashing the Israeli Government's crimes against humanity

Comhghairdeas Catherine Connolly on becoming the 10th Uachtarán na hÉireann
When the first President of Ireland was elected, the world was on the brink of war. Today, we face that same challenge
Here is our message to you, Ireland: youtu.be/MjxEX2jUy5c?...
Donald Trump now claims paracetamol / tylenol causes autism.
Across Europe & the rest of the world, experts agree: it’s safe for pregnant women. There’s no link to autism.
Trust science. Trust doctors.
Trust the rest of the world - not Trump’s America.
Ireland will not take part in 2026 Eurovision Song Contest if participation of Israel goes ahead, RTÉ Director-General says
Should every message you send be scanned before it’s delivered?
The EU’s Chat Control plan risks weakening encryption, treating everyone as suspects & exposing us to hacks.
Protecting children needs better policing & education - not mass scanning.

🌍 The 80th UN General Assembly is underway
But wars rage on: 🇵🇸 Palestine faces genocide, 🇸🇩 Sudan’s civil war displaces millions, 🇨🇩 DR Congo sees mass killings, 🇺🇦 Ukraine continues to defend itself from Russian invaders.
The UN must act - protect civilians, end the wars, demand justice.
Once again, the UK’s far-right want to leave the ECHR. But the Good Friday Agreement - which ended decades of conflict - depends on it
Without ECHR protections, peace in Northern Ireland is at risk
Northern Ireland is both the UK's and Ireland's responsibility - conflict must never return
#ECHR
Happy Independence Day, Ukraine! 🇺🇦
For 33 years, Ukraine has stood proud & free. Today that freedom is under attack
Russia sees us in Europe as small & insignificant. But when we stand united, no global power can push us around. A free Ukraine means a free Europe 💙💛

Today, the UN has confirmed famine in Gaza. Like Ireland’s Great Famine, it’s not nature - it’s political.
In 1840s, Britain let millions starve. Now, Israel blocks aid & weaponises hunger. This is a crime against humanity. Europe must not stay silent.
#gaza #ireland #palestine #volteuropa
We wouldn't accept our country losing territory - so why should Ukraine?
If we allow Ukraine to be carved up, Putin wins.
Ukraine deserves its full freedom, its full sovereignty, and every inch of its territory back!

Trump's #tariffs slap, and the #EU commits to buy 750B$ of US crude, LNG & nuclear energy.
That's almost x4 what we buy now so it's both unfeasible & against the green transition.
Unhappy with the negotiations?
Let's make the EU a democracy with a government elected by the people!
It's not up to us to create the detailed solution. And it's also not about making everything available forever. It's about fighting back against publishers that willy-nilly disable access to games that could very well run without a need to be online. It's not about a perfect solution. It's a start.
That's besides the point of the initiative. "providing reasonable means to continue functioning" is key to this action. It means that a publisher has to enable the public to keep a game alive at the public's expense by, for example, providing the code to run the servers to keep it alive.

Big ups to #stopkillinggames for taking action for the people.
Huge win for the regular people.
