“I joined Volt because I believe in Europe. Not as an abstract ideal, but as something you can point to every day: in the rules we make together, in the freedom to live and work where you choose, in the certainty that your rights don't end at a line drawn on a map. I think of the next generation. They are growing up in a world where climate, water, housing and work are no longer national questions - too big for any single country, too important to leave to each other. I want them to look back and not find a generation that knew what needed to happen and waited anyway. I am Dutch. I am a Zeeuw. And here, in a province where the border is closer than the capital, Europe stops being a story from Brussels and becomes something you can see. Perhaps that is the new European frontier: not a line where you stop, but a place where you begin.”
