Internationals

For expats living in The Hague, our election program stands out as the most forward-thinking and inclusive choice. As the only truly pan-European party in The Hague, we bring a unique, international perspective to local politics, making it especially relevant for the city’s diverse expat community.

Our program is built around five core challenges: creating a city where people work together, a city of equal opportunities, a city where everyone feels at home, a city of the future, and a city without borders. Our priorities directly address the needs of expats, who often face language barriers, housing shortages, and the challenge of integrating into a new community. Volt’s commitment to a “city without borders” means actively learning from successful European examples—such as affordable housing funds from Vienna and inclusive social policies like in Mechelen—to make The Hague more welcoming and accessible for all residents, regardless of their background.

Housing is a top concern for many expats, and Volt proposes innovative solutions like a municipal housing fund to increase the availability of affordable homes. The party also emphasizes digitalization and sustainability, ensuring The Hague remains a modern, livable city. By fostering a sense of belonging and breaking down barriers, Volt aims to make The Hague a place where expats can truly thrive, both professionally and personally.

Choosing Volt means supporting a party that values international cooperation, evidence-based policy, and a vision for The Hague as a connected, inclusive European city. For expats, this translates to better housing, stronger community ties, and a local government that understands and embraces diversity. In short, Volt Den Haag is the party that sees the city—and its expat residents—as part of a larger, united Europe. Why not be part of our progressive movement?
