Volt Switzerland (German: Volt Schweiz, French: Volt Suisse, Italian: Volt Svizzera and Rhaeto-Romanic: Volt Svizra) is a social liberal political party in Switzerland and the national chapter of the pan-European movement Volt Europa.
History
Volt Switzerland was founded on 9 October 2019.[1] There are teams in Geneva, Zurich, Basel, Bern and Lugano.[2] In February 2020, Volt participated in the Unity Committee for the Free Movement of Persons. It is intended to address concerns of foreigners and Swiss with a migration background to achieve greater participation in Swiss public life and was also directed against the citizens' initiative "For moderate immigration (limitation initiative)".[3]
Communal elections 2021
In the municipal elections in Zurich in February 2022, Volt stood for the first time in an election in Switzerland and fielded candidates in 2 out of 9 constituencies.[4][5] In constituency 7+8 the party achieved 0.24%, in constituency 10 0.34%, which means that it did not win a mandate.[6][7]
Europe Initiative
On 30 August 2022 the Swiss political movement Operation Libero announced they had drafted the so-called Europa-Initiative, which would force the Swiss government to pick up talks with the European Union again. Volt also supports the Initiative. As of now, the Initiative has not been submitted, though.[8][9] [10]
