⛔ Mit der AfD ist kein Staat zu machen. Wer glaubt, „so schlimm wird es schon nicht“, sollte nach Italien oder Slowenien schauen: Demokratie wird Schritt für Schritt abgebaut. Die AfD geht noch weiter. Die Brandmauer schützt keine Parteien – sie schützt unsere demokratische Ordnung.

I love it when a plan comes together 🙂 A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported me and believed in me 🙏 Many members told me how inspiring my campaign was. Some even chose to watch the election results over World Cup because it was more exiting. We may be on to something...

That's the wrap up of my tour All of Volt is talking about it. That was the goal. 👉🏻 Because we need such stories 👉🏻 Because we need to make a colossal effort for 2029 👉🏻 And because we need to show that we care. For leaving no one behind. ✅ We have all the ingredients to change Europe. Time to vote

Final stop on my tour: Rome 🇮🇹 👉🏻 The key task will be to give our teams arguments to differentiate ourselves from national parties 👉🏻 Everyone knew the Italian EU Commissioner - impressive. 💡 I liked the political and critical questions 💜 Thank you for the opportunity. See you in Bratislava 😊

Družba mora biti zgrajena tako, da nihče ne ostane zadaj. Kaj želimo? ✔ družbo, ki pomaga ljudem pravočasno ✔ močnejšo socialno varnost ✔ več vključevanja in manj sistemskih ovir Ker demokratična družba ni uspešna, če ljudje nimajo osnovnega občutka varnosti in dostojanstva. #VoltSlovenija
