On 14 June 2026, Volt Europa, Europe’s only pan-European political party active in more than 30 countries, elected its new European Board and executive leadership at our 2026 General Assembly in Bratislava. More than 900 members, supporters, and volunteers joined us in person, with hundreds more taking part remotely through our interactive digital platform.
This is a defining moment for our party. The newly elected board takes the helm as we begin executing Volt’s roadmap toward the 2029 European Parliament Elections. The primary strategic objective for the new team will be securing 25 parliamentary seats in at least 7 countries, the minimum needed to establish Europe’s first independent, pan-European political faction within the European Parliament.
The New Volt Europa Board:
- Co-Presidents: Inês Bravo Figueiredo & Sven Franck
- Treasurer: Alberto Spatola
- Non-Executive Board Members: Marieke Koekkoek, Chan Uk Jun, Mihaela Sirițanu, Slavomir Manasek, Marina Rrika
Our new Co-Presidents shared their vision for the mandate ahead:
Inês Bravo Figueiredo: This election means that there is change coming to Volt Europa. Both Sven and I came here with a very clear perspective – make Volt more political. We want Volt to be out there, we want to change people’s lives – starting NOW.
Sven Franck: Volt needs to start to have political influence. We need visibility in different member states, and make our message heard across Europe. We have only three years till 2029 to get elected, and the campaign is a reminder to vote for us. We have to convince them that we are the right solution for Europe much before the campaign.
