6 NEW SEATS FOR VOLT IN BERLIN 💜🥳 Despite more than doubling our performance compared to the last election, Volt missed out on entering the State Parliament in Berlin, but... we ARE entering Berlin's District Parliaments for the first time — with 6 SEATS! 🎉 (1/2)
Dark purple graphic in Volt branding with the Volt logo top right and the headline "6 NEW SEATS IN BERLIN" in purple on white blocks. A large lime green arrow curves upwards from a small red bar labelled "0 seats" and "last election" on the left to a tall purple column on the right labelled "6 seats" and "2026 election". Inside the column, a lime green map of the relevant Berlin districts is labelled "Pankow 3,5%", "Mitte 3,1%", "xHain 3,3%" and "ChaWi 3,0%". A party face emoji and colourful confetti sit alongside.

Nobody expected Goslar. This Sunday, it's Berlin's turn to surprise us. 💜 (2/2)
Six people stand together outdoors on a grassy slope in sunshine, some wearing purple Volt shirts, behind a purple Volt sign reading "NEUE POLITIK: EUROPÄISCH GEDACHT". Text reads "THE NEW TEAM GOT TO WORK" above "During the following two years, Stephanie, Martin, and other dedicated Volt Goslar members held monthly meet-and-greets until the local papers started noticing. They put together a campaign team, recruited candidates, and started preparing for 2026." The Volt logo sits in the top right corner.A woman in a purple blazer speaks into a microphone on a panel stage while a man in a dark suit listens beside her, with a Goslarsche Zeitung backdrop behind them. A speech bubble reads "Our local members are deeply engaged in their communities, each contributing what they can to make their region better." attributed to Nadine Filko (Volt). Text below reads "SEPTEMBER 2026" above "Nadine Filko, who decided to join Volt after witnessing our work in the region, ran for District Administrator and finished third, ahead of traditional parties. Volt also won a seat in all four councils we contested. What seemed impossible on paper became reality." The Volt logo sits in the top right corner and an arrow in the bottom right indicates more slides.A plain purple slide with large white text reading "THIS SUNDAY, IT'S BERLIN'S TURN TO SURPRISE US.

Two years ago Volt had three members in the Goslar district. Last Sunday, we finished third place in the District Administrator race, ahead of Die Linke, the Greens and the FDP, and won a seat in all four councils we stood in. (1/2)
A smiling woman with a blonde bob and glasses in a bright orange jacket stands on a hillside with forested mountains behind her, holding a purple Volt sign. Large white text reads "FROM 3 MEMBERS TO 3RD PLACE" above the question "How did this Volt candidate get more votes than Die Linke, the Greens and the FDP in a rural district in the Harz mountains?" The Volt logo sits in the top right corner and an arrow in the bottom right indicates more slides.A street of black and white half-timbered houses with steep slate roofs under a cloudy sky. A purple circle in the upper left holds a map of Germany with Lower Saxony shaded purple and a heart-shaped pin labelled Goslar, connected by a curved arrow. Text reads "MEET GOSLAR" above "A district of 120,000 people spread across small towns and villages, far from Germany's big cities. A place that, on paper, should not support a young, progressive European party." The Volt logo sits in the top right corner.A crowd of people walking outdoors in summer, many in purple Volt shirts, with a large purple Volt flag flying above them against a blue sky. Text reads "THAT DID NOT STOP THEM" above "In spring 2024, Volt in the district was just three people. Martin was putting up the European election posters alone. Stephanie, a resident who was not a Volt member and had never met him, on her daily way home would drive past endless lampposts with far-right propaganda, until she decided she needed an alternative to the Alternative." The Volt logo sits in the top right corner.A man seen from behind reaches up to fix a Volt poster to a lamp post against a clear blue sky. The poster reads "EUROPÄISCH DENKEN LOKAL HANDELN" with the Volt logo. Text reads "SO SHE JOINED HIM" above "Stephanie asked for 200 Volt flyers. She ran out after two streets and asked for more. After 1,500 flyers delivered to houses across the district and a successful European election, she decided to join Volt and do even more." The Volt logo sits in the top right corner.

Twenty-five years since 11 September 2001. Today, we remember the victims, their families, and everyone who still carries that loss. May we also remember that peace beyond borders must always overcome terror and hatred, in America, in Europe, in the Middle East, and everywhere else in the world.
A dark purple graphic showing a white silhouette of the New York skyline along the bottom, including the Statue of Liberty and the Chrysler Building. Two tall vertical bars representing the Twin Towers rise from the skyline, fading from white at the base to dark at the top. The words "WE REMEMBER" sit across the middle, split by the towers. Below the skyline the text reads "25 YEARS SINCE 9/11". The Volt logo appears in the top right corner.

Four purple heart-shaped map pins carrying the white Volt wordmark are placed on those countries, each paired with an orange label in white text.

The AfD has taken 44% in Sachsen-Anhalt, its strongest state result ever. This is what years of blocked reforms and national short-termism produce. Hesitation will not stop this. European parties delivering real, progressive reforms will. (1/2) 👇

Large white capital text reads "THE SUCCESS OF THE AFD IS THE FAILURE OF NATIONAL PARTIES TO INTEGRATE EUROPE", with the letters AFD highlighted in a red box.
