Foreign Minister Steinmeier calls on people to vote in the European elections on 25 May
Ahead of the forthcoming European elections, Foreign Minister Steinmeier issued the following statement today (23 May):
So much is at stake. We can only master the major issues of our time in a way that best serves us if we all work together.
Growth and employment, a sensible immigration policy, the protection of our data and, not least, peace and security in Europe – all of these are issues addressed by the European Parliament!
It is important that the citizens of Europe be represented by a strong and effective Parliament. We should not let Europe’s opponents have the last word.
Populists and nationalists must not be allowed to determine the way forward for Europe! A high turnout would be a first, crucial step towards making sure that does not happen.
