Parties struggle with voter apathy: Turnout and youth vote are key in June EU elections
Release Date:
Voters under 30 account for a sixth of Europe's electorate. That's an important group for political parties to win over during this EU election season. Young people are less likely to take part in European elections than older generations, which makes them a prize for parties that know how to clinch their votes. But those aged 18 to 30 aren’t just a demographic. Their choices are a bellwether of what the priorities of Europeans will look like in the future, for instance on climate change and energy independence. We discuss this with our guests. Programme prepared by Perrine Desplats, Sophie Samaille, Isabelle Romero and Anaïs Boucher
