SEN 21 and Volt
SEN 21 and Volt (Czech: SEN 21 a Volt) is Czech electoral alliance formed between the liberal SEN 21 movement and Volt Czechia, a chapter of Volt Europa, founded for the 2024 European Parliament election.[1][2][3]
Ideology
The alliance describes itself as liberal and strongly pro-European, and states that it seeks to present "an alternative for voters disappointed with the government of Petr Fiala".[2] As its foremost priorities, the alliance has named the creation of a united European army, opposition to dual pricing and support of the European economy.[4] Volt also mentioned anti-money laundering measures, regional development, and LGBTQ+ equality as priorities.[2]
Lenka Helena Koenigsmark, the leader of the joint list and former marketing director of Mattel, said she wanted to make the European Union "more sexy" and "safer and stronger". She said the joint list supports the introduction of Euro and opposes the requirement for unanimous voting in the European Council.[5]
SEN 21 and Volt and the Liberal Alliance of Independent Citizens are the only two lists in the 2024 European election in the Czech Republic which have expressed support for European federalism.[6]
