That’s why at Volt, we are calling for a fundamental shift in how Europe operates. We cannot just sit back and watch global crises tear our economy apart. We need to be aware of these dangerous dependencies early on. The EU must build a dependency warning system now!

A flare-up in the Middle East shouldn't dictate European bills. As long as we depend on foreign oil, our lives and economy are held hostage by global chaos. It’s time for the EU to take control of our own security. True independence means clean, domestic power.

La desertificazione è già qui: siccità, caldo estremo e suoli sempre più fragili stanno cambiando l’Europa. Come denuncia @kaitegethoff.bsky.social, europarlamentare di Volt, chi attacca i migranti cerca un capro espiatorio. Il pericolo non è alle frontiere: è già dentro casa nostra.

So this week, I'm writing to the @ec.europa.eu to set out my ideas for what the EU's upcoming Climate Resilience Framework must deliver. Not vague promises, but binding, measurable action:

Extreme temperatures do not fall on everyone equally. It is the elderly, the isolated, outdoor workers and families in the poorest-insulated homes who suffer first and worst. Resilience cannot become a privilege for those who can afford it. Protection from a changing climate is a right for everyone.

Two years ago, the first European Climate Risk Assessment laid it out bare: 36 major climate risks facing our continent, several already at critical levels, and a Europe that is warming 2x as fast as the global average, unprepared for what is coming. It's time for a real climate adaptation plan. 🧵⬇️

Happy to announce that I've been appointed Rapporteur for the EU’s Rail Ticketing Regulation in the @europeanparliament. Europe gave us a borderless continent, so why is buying a cross-border train ticket still a total nightmare? 🚄🇪🇺 My goal: Break down these digital borders!

Traveling through Europe by train is amazing but still unnecessarily complicated. It can be easier if we harmonize ticketing regulations Europe-wide. Our demand at Volt: If it’s one journey, it should be one ticket and with passenger rights that are guaranteed across borders.

P.S. Plus, the full set of passenger rights (assistance, re-routing, reimbursement and compensation) should apply throughout the entire journey

Hey @jonworth.eu thanks for your comments! For us the most important element is that the tickets should be booked in *one transaction*. So, if a passenger books a multi-leg journey in one transaction (but technically with several tickets) we still consider it as one ticket.
