Shape Your Future: Vote in the EU Parliament Elections

Published: 2024-03-19

With the upcoming EU Parliament elections on June 9th, there's a call to action for increased voter participation to influence the future of EU cooperation.

Notably, the election offers a chance to shape policies on crucial issues like climate change, migration, and AI regulation.

Recent years have seen a shift in the European Parliament towards more radical voices, especially from the right, challenging traditional compromises and EU unity.

Swedish representatives play a significant role in the parliament, having led important initiatives in various domains.

As the 2019 elections saw a 55% voter turnout in Sweden, there's a concerted effort to boost engagement and scrutinize candidates on critical policy positions.
