We are pleased that this EU election, as well the local council election, are showing growing interest for different voices representing the public, and we are optimistic that this trend will continue.
This being Volt Malta's first EU election has given it a base to continue growing from. By being part of Volt Europa, it will support the work of the 5 MEPs elected to the European Parliament in fulfilling its election programme.
