"Darum ist die Kirche im Osten die letzte demokratische Bastion des Widerstandes, besonders auf dem Land. (...) Und die AfD weiß das ganz genau."

Starke Folge und eine Ohrfeige an CDU und SPD, die gerade massiv Gelder für Demokratieprojekte streichen (die für Tankrabatte da sind).

Ich durfte eine Laudatio auf Angela Merkel halten und hatte einen, wie ich finde, sehr vernünftigen Vorschlag dabei, um eine weitere Amtszeit von Friedrich Merz unwahrscheinlicher zu machen.

Angela Merkel wurde am Freitag mit dem Elisabethpreis der Caritas geehrt. Danke, dass ich dabei sein durfte.

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.

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.

Im Übrigen ist #Göttingen weder reich, noch läuft in der Verwaltung alles rund, die Grünen machen hier knallgrüne linke Politik, die Stadt ist eine einzige Brandmauer gegen Faschismus. Und trotzdem ist die #AfD quasi inexistent. Lasse ich mal für die plumpe Debatte, was angeblich die AfD stärkt, da.

From 14 to 62 seats! 🥳

Yesterday, Volt won 62 seats in local elections across Lower Saxony, according to the preliminary results. This is an increase of 48 (!) compared to the last election. 🎉

(1/3)
Volt-branded graphic on a light purple background. A banner at the top reads "🤩 Lower-Saxony:" above a very large number 62 and the words "SEATS FOR VOLT". Below, a simple bar chart with a green arrow curving steeply upward from a short bar labelled "14 seats" and "2021" to a tall bar labelled "62 seats" and "2026", the taller bar containing a map of Germany with Lower Saxony highlighted in purple. The Volt logo sits in the top right corner.

You may have the right to vote!

Elections in Sweden (13 Sep), Lower Saxony (13 Sep), Berlin (20 Sep), Czechia (9-10 Oct) and Slovakia (24 Oct) are open to residents who are not citizens there, and Volt is standing in all of them. Check the rules where you live, then go and vote.
A vertical purple graphic with a large white capitalised headline reading "YOU DON'T NEED TO BE A CITIZEN. IF YOU LIVE HERE, YOU CAN VOTE FOR VOLT", underlined by a hand-drawn orange stroke. Below it sits a simplified map of northern and central Europe in shades of purple and white, with Sweden, Germany, Czechia and Slovakia picked out in a lighter purple against the darker background. 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 labels read "13 Sep, Sweden: Local and Regional Elections", "13 Sep, Lower Saxony: Local Elections" and "20 Sep, Berlin: District Assembly Elections" in a single block, "9-10 Oct, Czechia: Local Elections" and "24 Oct, Slovakia: Local and Regional Elections". A small orange footnote in the bottom left corner reads "EU citizenship may be required in some countries".

Deutschland erneuern statt den Rückstand verwalten
Debattenbeitrag von Dirk Bachhausen, Landtagskandidat von Volt für Chorweiler Deutschland war lange stolz darauf, ein Land der Ingenieurinnen und Ingenieure, der starken Industrie und des verlässlichen Mittelstands zu sein. Dieser Stolz ist berechtigt. Aber er darf uns nicht darüber hinwegtäuschen, dass wir bei zentralen Zukunftsfragen an Tempo verloren haben. Das Problem ist nicht, dass Deutschland...

The US is punishing judges for doing their job. Europe has the tools to defend them, and it should use them.

A black and white halftone photograph of a wooden gavel sits in the lower right corner. Small white text at the bottom left reads "*International Criminal Court". A white arrow inside a light purple circle in the bottom right corner indicates the carousel continues.
