Volt is committed to championing policies in government that ensure that no one is left behind. Far too long, the economic cost of exclusion has been ignored or underestimated. At a time when Belgium faces numerous crises and challenges, many of the solutions that must be deployed require all Belgians to reach their full potential. As a country committed to the EU values, we will ensure that comprehensive federal, regional and provincial plans exist to tackle discriminations where they happen, but also take into account the historic, structural, and systemic causes of these discriminations. To tackle them, we champion a mainstream approach, underpinned by a comprehensive evidence base stemming from both public and private sources, and measurable targets that ensure real progress is taking place to reduce the number of people facing exclusion and discrimination. This is essential not just for victims, but also for society as a whole which ultimately suffers from the costs of exclusion.
Volt heeft 5+1 fundamentele uitdagingen gedefinieerd die in elk Europees land en in heel Europa moeten worden aangepakt.
De 5 uitdagingen zijn in principe hetzelfde voor elk land, maar de implementatie kan worden aangepast aan de nationale context en rekening houden met lokale realiteiten. De +1 uitdaging - ons voorstel om de EU te hervormen en te versterken - is identiek in alle landen.
