🗳️ 10 elections
🗳️ 45 years
🗳️ 1 democracy
In June 1979, citizens from the EEC elected the members of the European Parliament by direct universal suffrage for the first time.
In just a few days, for the tenth time in history, Europeans will head to the polls across our Union for the #EUElections2024.
We should never take democracy for granted. #UseYourVote on 6-9 June.
Ahead of this milestone, let's take a trip down memory lane and revisit some snapshots from past elections! 👇
@EUCommission I and millions of others had our voting rights stolen from us by Brexit. Here in France, our friends and neighbours are gearing up to vote, yet we are politically homeless. And yet, we've now been given back the right to vote in the UK, which seems a little silly when our homes, and lives are here, in the EU.
Do something about it!
