Greenland is not for sale, nor is it some empty space on a map up for grabs. 🇬🇱

Its future belongs to Greenlanders, and Europe must stand by them. 🇪🇺

Join Volt and help us build a federal Europe that stands for safety and peace on our continent 💜👉https://volt.team/simple-join/en
A political infographic from Volt asking, "Do Greenlanders support becoming part of the USA?" It features two semi-circle charts: The first chart shows that 85% oppose joining the USA, while 6% support it (Source: Verian, 2025). The second chart emphasizes Volt's position on "Who should decide the future of Greenland," showing 100% Greenlanders and 0% Donald Trump. A political infographic from Volt asking, "Do Greenlanders support rejoining the EU through a referendum?" It features two semi-circle charts: The first chart shows 60% support for rejoining the EU and 40% opposition (Source: Nasiffik, 2024). The second chart reiterates Volt's stance that the decision-making power belongs 100% to Greenlanders and 0% to EU leaders. A purple graphic with bold white text that reads: "THE FUTURE OF GREENLAND BELONGS TO GREENLANDERS!". Below the main heading, it states, "The EU must defend Greenland, whether it is part of our union or not". The bottom features a call to action: "Let’s build a federal Europe together.

The deal is far from perfect, but strengthening ties with #Mercosur countries is a step in the right direction. Europe must diversify its trade partnerships. Engagement gives us leverage - isolation does not.

Worried about housing? Join Volt and help build the policies Europe deserves 👉 https://volt.team/simple-join/en
The text states: "Europe’s housing crisis is deepening. Between 2010 and 2024, house prices jumped by 55% while rents rose by 25%." Below the text is a photo of two women standing in front of a building with a white banner that says "NÃO SAIO DAQUI" (Portuguese for "I am not leaving here"). A pie chart titled "Housing affordability in European cities according to their mayors" shows: 47% At risk (yellow) 39% Unaffordable (red) 14% Affordable (green) A note at the bottom warns that mayors have incentives to downplay the crisis for re-election. The text reads: "Vienna took housing seriously. The result? Around 60% of its residents live in affordable public housing." The background is solid purple. A faded image of the "Reumann-Hof" (a historic municipal housing estate in Vienna) with the text: "No equity, commission, contractual fee, or deposit is required. Tenancy contracts are open-ended, making municipal housing the cheapest option in Vienna."

The left (black) side lists policies like "Withdrawal from the World Health Organisation" and "Mass deportations" marked with X's. The right (white) side shows Volt's counter-positions with checkmarks, including "Science-based international cooperation" and "Decency". Two overlapping social media style frames. One features a portrait of "MARAL," noting she received over 350,000 votes in the German Bundestag election. The other shows a European flag graphic with the text "We need an EU army NOW" and a call to sign a petition. A photo of a man standing on a ledge in front of the European Parliament building in Brussels. He is holding a large cardboard sign that reads "UNITED STATES OF EUROPE NOW".
