Volt Slovakia (Slovak: Volt Slovensko, Volt) is a political party in Slovakia and the Slovak branch of Volt Europa, a Eurofederalist and progressive pan-European political party and movement, which advocates for greater European cooperation across Europe.

Policies

The party's declared goal is to regain trust in politics and break with the old structures of politics in Slovakia. To this purpose, the party wants to focus on cross-border cooperation and Europe to solve problems such as climate change or economic recovery after the corona pandemic.[1][2]

The party is committed to a tolerant, open society and LGBTQ rights.[3][4]

The party supports sanctions against Russia and arms deliveries to Ukraine in the context of the Ukraine war.[5]

History

Volt Slovakia was founded in May 2023 by Rick Zedník and Lucia Kleštincová and began the process of official registration as a party. To do so, the movement needs 10,000 signatures of support, which it must submit to the Ministry of the Interior.[1][6] The party is preparing to participate in the European elections 2024.[7]
