My positions
What I believe, set out clearly and directly. The positions below come from years of study, activism, and debate — and they evolve over time.
Drafts under review. Final wording is curated together with me and the Volt Europa team.
Europe will never be truly political as long as we vote for it like a sum of national elections. We need transnational lists, a single electoral law, voting at 16 and mandatory gender parity in lists. Only then will the European Parliament become the place where decisions are really made, and only then will voters be able to hold common choices to account.
The climate crisis is not a chapter separate from inequality: it deepens it. I stand with those who protest — Fridays for Future, Extinction Rebellion, civil-disobedience activists — because they are doing the work European politics has put off for too long. We need faster, more ambitious, science-based action, and a social pact that protects those paying the highest price for the transition.
We need harmonised asylum procedures, a European search-and-rescue system and real investment in reception and integration. We cannot keep outsourcing borders, as the Italian government has done with Albania: I saw at first hand what that means in Gjader. The humanitarian answer is also a political one.
Real progressivity, a European minimum wage, an effective minimum tax rate on multinationals, and fiscal harmonisation across member states. Without these pieces, the single market keeps pushing inequality onto citizens and rewarding those who move capital best — not those who create value.
Ukraine must be able to resist the Russian invasion, and its EU accession must be accelerated. In Gaza, an immediate ceasefire is needed and we must call things by their name: indicators of a potential genocide cannot be ignored. Peace is not equidistance — it is consistency with human rights.
The big transformations we need require active citizenship, community organising and open political spaces. That is why I keep training, building networks across organisations, and bringing community organising to places where it hasn’t arrived yet. The antidote to disaffection is bringing people in, not reassuring them from outside.
