In Luxembourg we know our size doesn’t define our impact, especially when it comes to Europe.
We were there at the start, Schuman’s dream woven into our country’s fabric. Now, on June 9th, it’s time to raise our voices again, not just because it’s our right, but because our vote truly steers the future of a united Europe.
Anyone still remember the struggles our grandparents and parents faced, divided by borders?
Today, thanks to the EU, we hop across those same borders for work, study, even love, with barely a blink. Schengen, a cornerstone of that freedom, was signed right here in our backyard.
That’s our legacy, built brick by brick with our European partners, showing the power of working together.
We, the generation raised on a united Europe, need to remind ourselves and others what we’ve gained: cleaner air, stronger economies, Erasmus adventures that opened our eyes to the world. These aren’t distant concepts, they’re the realities that shape our lives.
However, the rising tide of nationalism threatens to wash away these achievements. We see it across Europe, and even here in Luxembourg too, unfortunately. But here’s the thing: Luxembourg, small but fierce, has always stood up to bullies. We did it before, and we can do it again, not with fists, but with our votes, all together, as one diverse, united, European country.
On June 9th, let’s cast our ballots for a progressive, social-liberal Europe. Let’s honour the vision of our founding fathers and mothers, reject the divisive voices, and weave the future of Europe, stronger than ever before.
Our vote, like our voice, is powerful. Let’s use it to remind everyone, from Vianden to Differdange, from Luxembourg City to Troisvierges, and from Lisbon to Vilnius, that a united Europe isn’t just possible, it’s essential.
Letz get voting!
