The New Union documents, questions, and shapes the future of Europe—with a focus on Volt, its milestones, and the people making them possible.
Here, you’ll find analyses, critiques, and stories that go beyond the headlines.


Our Mission

Documenting, Questioning, and Advancing Volt

The New Union is an independent, Volt-aligned project that records the key milestones of Volt—from local initiatives to European political successes.

We don’t just analyze—we question:

  • How is Volt evolving as a movement?
  • What successes and setbacks define the party?
  • How is Volt concretely shaping EU policy?

Our goal: Create transparency, spark discussions, and make Volt’s impact on Europe visible—always with a critical yet constructive perspective.


Volt & Europe: What Drives Us

Volt represents a new kind of politics—one that transcends national borders and focuses on European solutions.
At The New Union, we document:

  • Milestones (e.g., founding moments, elections, political victories)
  • Analyses of Volt’s strategies and challenges
  • Critical reflections on Volt’s role in the EU

Together with you, we aim to shape Europe’s future—with facts, debates, and visions.


Transparency: How We Work

AI as a Tool—Humans as the Responsible Party

We use Mistral AI tools to assist with our work—whether for research, drafting, or translations.
However, every article is reviewed and finalized by humans to ensure accuracy, depth, and alignment with Volt’s values.

Transparency matters to us: AI helps us work more efficiently, but the content and opinions are 100% human.


Funding

This website is currently operated privately and is free to access.
In the future, we plan to introduce a subscription model to fund:

  • Travel to Volt events
  • Training for authors

Any surpluses will be donated to Volt.
