As time runs out, the European Union needs a more unified approach. Only Ireland, Spain, and Slovenia were part of the walking-out statement. Volt Ireland believes that to create solutions to global issues, we need a combined effort and accountability for countries that break international law.

White and yellow text discusses countries walking out during Netanyahu’s UN speech, Volt’s support for the protest, and the need for effective EU and global action.

Europe's defence problem isn't money. It's the absence of a political centre of gravity. Volt MEP Reinier van Lanschot sets out six building blocks for a European pillar within NATO. 🇪🇺 Read the blueprint: volteuropa.org/news/a-bluep...

"United by Music," says Eurovision. We beg to differ. Ireland has withdrawn from Eurovision in Vienna alongside Spain, Iceland, the Netherlands, and Slovenia. Five countries refusing to share a stage with Israel as it commits war crimes in Gaza Not united by music. United by humanity & compassion

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. 🇺🇦🇪🇺

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 #eurovision

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. #ChatControl #EU #VoltEuropa

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

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

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!
