  • Over 800 highly-energised “Volters” from over twenty countries rocked up to the Prague Congress Centre on 8 October. I was there to moderate two policy discussion sessions, but I spent most of my time getting to know the members of Volt, and exploring the party culture of this new form of European politics.
    Many thanks to Lucas Kornexl and the Volt Europa board for inviting me to attend the General Assembly!

    Thank you to everyone at Volt Europa who took part in this video, either by being interviewed on camera, or helping me during my time as a moderator, or just by putting on such a superbly organized event!

    Great vlog, Fredo! Thanks for taking us with you! 🤗 The Volters seem like a lovely bunch, respectful protesters, with a lot of love for people outside their own borders. I was a bit surprised that they were not as eccentric as I might have expected. Afterall, small parties are often driven by whacky self-obsessed ideologues, to keep their movement going. But this seemed about as civil and engaged as it can get! Great stuff :)

      Glad you liked the video and thanks so much for your comment, Lucas! You make a really good point, and I'm surprised this hasn't occurred to me before. In many ways Volt feels more like a major party in its demeanor, except one that is still small in number and is run by its youth activists. People were having fun everywhere, but it was also very respectful and serious when it came to policy discussions.

      I'm so glad you liked it! And I would love French subtitles if you're interested. If you contact me via email (the address is in the About section on my channel page) I will send you the English version you can work from. I would really love that!
