parliament what challenges lie ahead from way too long because the sins of the people in power have come their way with not doing anything to fight the time of crisis how will the european election affect the rest of the. expert discussion as it is or more. voters 1st tangiers g.w. has it all. the european elections on may 26th on g.w. . europe and its young people a complicated relationship. a demonstration against climate change aren't interested in the european election is it what about you not really. do you vote

this is god's mind i think my parents will make me vote saying they are. we wanted to find out what young people think about europe we visited several countries including germany we met people who were committed to the european concept. exists these votes and those who are opposed to it. by the leader of means nothing to me but. how can politicians get young people interested about the guy that we want europe to have a future of young people here need a future.

we traveled to cologne in early march right in the middle of a windstorm. the stormy times for europe. the bomb tears are trying to get young people to vote in the upcoming european election. that's just the way all of europeans part of the e.u. would like a family media hype of us bank that i love my dad's french and my mom's german so europe is really important to me as we head to you with other games and. disadvantages part of an e.u. parliament effort to get out the values it's called this time i'm voting volunteers consign up on a website. to vote and focus on begin. we want to get out into the streets and explain to people why this election matters it's. multan 250000 volunteers throughout europe have already registered the parliament provides

information brochures and other materials but unfortunately no one bellows. bothered to do something. like. this are you going to vote no for europe why not don't know come on at least think about it you know it's a please please vote when you vote why no it's pointless why it's no use come on. the volunteers don't discuss issues they just want people to vote might not want you should be proud that you can vote for concrete a team dispersed and the political parties are responsible for addressing specific issues. i have to remain absolutely neutral because it's union card companies kinds of campaigns really get out the vote research and classroom not is an expert on how

young people think and behave. as if must be a visa i have my doubts about a general sort of campaign goes on for you young people will vote in european elections only if the campaign addresses specific issues that are important to them but it does so if the politicians want more young people to vote they'll have to talk about those issues or this one of the volunteers is deanna to move and she's a star on you tube in instagram and says the european concept is important for young people. if it's a tie everything so i think it's totally important to show that in the united europe we can have more innovation and opportunities especially for young people and. i think that is the thing that i think it has more influence than individual countries continents or powerful corporations have been fair and yemen.

for 16 years now indiana has been posting photos and videos on the internet. investment i would give i shoot most of my videos in my bedroom i like that homey feeling because it brings you closer to the viewer as to who. the deonna has more than 600000 new chips subscribers she usually talks about fashion and cosmetics at the cons welcome to a new video today i'm going to talk about a topic close to my hut i said you know i. think this is my favorite right now. yeah that's my like this and not it's not floor length your legs may get cold within the. deal now has turned a hobby into a profession for cosmetics and fashion companies pay her to promote their products and the videos so they can reach a final was. the best it comes from the so you do politics now take you forward from 2 i'm sort of a role model and i have

a community that i can exchange ideas with. that i'm into politics now so i wanted to share that to me was the thought of times. during the today deanna is in brussels the e.u. parliament has invited several internet influencers to campaign on behalf of europe . well you've. covered us here in france and passion in how to i hope they'll create some nice content and post it online and maybe that we have their followers interested in europe and the upcoming election. was. coming down from how about interconnected your. network to that set. do young people take you for granted because they don't know what the all the jew replies like to find out more about that we travel to business.

these young people are part of the erasmus student exchange program that come from all over europe. i become i'm from austria england i'm from muscleman i'm from belgium so from london from swabian. more than 9000000 students have taken part in the rest of us program since it began in 1000. 87. people to be all europeans are different but they're also connected and that's really beautiful to speak up there so i think it's really important to meet people from different cultures because it's the approach and it's your perspective which i by this time we've become more european than german i've seen that here and it's surprised me yeah the. u.s. must off believe that the organization has changed the way that young people look

to europe for the better. erasmus is the most successful program of the you are that you can see that from statistics and magic from everything and it really works it has creating a sense of belonging to the e.u. and that then off duty and responsibility towards the u.s. citizens lasting friendships and about a quarter of the arrests most students meet their long term partner on the exchange it's been said that there are over $1000000.00 ever asked most babies but the program can only go so far. so. as much as we try to prepare europeans for a european future we also have to realize that the middle classes can be quite nationalistic and that's true for all countries this is an island and that's why. we're on the road again this time we're headed for the heart of european politics brussels.

this is m.p. team of vulcan the german social democrat is just and she 31 of the youngest members of the european parliament he's trying to reach young people with his you tube channel but i have to hi and welcome to another episode of wednesday minutes. and welcome to sorry i was there why did you choose you tube mentioned by you mention that because young people watch it for information and entertainment. there are other platforms and viewer habits can change but right now youtube is the place to be the place to be one and then again ladies and gentlemen welcome to our press conference the 1st question please. is the e.u. to blame we abolished roaming charges. did some european commission bureaucrat decide that cucumber should look like this. and not like this action conference

i've got my voting card there's the voting machine and now we're going to take a roll call vote let's do it but let's not older employees may think this is silly . they did at the start. i did walk through the room with a video camera and record my reports. some people looked at me like i was crazy. i don't know what these videos get results. and these days no one seems to mind. now we're headed for a session of the legal affairs committee today they're going to vote on a topic that a lot of young people are interested in it for a policeman or a vote them and it's relaxed. you're in the minority. so that now the legal committee is going to

vote on the e.u.'s controversial internet copyright legislation social media uses a dead set against the proposal. quotes he says within short this law is going to strangle the internet in a way that we couldn't have imagined in our worse nightmare stuff in east africa and could then try to take away the content freedom that lets me do my job. our everyday lives would be totally screwed. it's a gotcha. article 13 is designed to protect copyrighted material and block illegal content at least that's what the bills all thought axel vos says but opponents are concerned that some legal content could also be banned. by coming here to going down you can draft regulations for this and we should. but if young europeans decide that this legislation is ruining an important part of their lives. then

we're making a huge mistake and divide things in many ways it's a clash between generations vulcan provides his followers with updates via instagram. next we'll travel to grace where a lot of young people can't find jobs. the last 10 years have been tough for greece as the country dealt with a devastating economic crisis the situation has improved a little but news on employment still stands at just under 40 percent. of the deal to get our 2 countries on the stark for the younger generation is always hit hard by such crises a lot of people who already have jobs can make it through somehow. but there just aren't any new jobs for young people who now have that i book.

mismanagement tax evasion corrupt relates crushing national debt and then the global financial crisis. the e.u. provided financial rescue packages in return greece had to slash government spending but a lot of the european aid money went to the big bang. many greeks lost their jobs and pensions taxes saud poverty and deprivation has become rampant. this is the german school in athens almost all of the students are great most of them come from well to do families but they're still worried about whether they'll be able to find a job after they graduate. you know i think i've lost faith. i'm afraid for the future will i be able to work here in greece

i have no idea that these things are a mess in greece right now maybe life is better in other countries he says but. many students feel they'll have to leave the country to find a job that includes a lanie karam ali. khan didn't really hear what i would stay here i would i like living in the afghans there's a good university here but i won't be able to find a job after i graduate so i'll have to move to another european country. i hope it's a. we visit a nice family a child her mother works as an interpreter and her father is an architect. during the economic crisis the family had to sell the house and move into an apartment. above the parents refused to cut back on their children's education. and this

for them to buy the king we wanted them to continue their studies that's why we sold the house. we set priorities we thought it was more important for the children to have a good education than to keep the house. and how. many does have to move to another country to find work she will but she'd like to come back to greece eventually. if unemployment is still high 5 years from now i'll have to stay away. so it all depends on the economy as i have no say in the matter. now. more than $500000.00 graves more than 4 percent of the population have already left the country many of them are young and well educated. foreign by the window. education is expensive both for the

government and for families so people are spending all this money in these highly qualified people will go off to another country to find a job other countries benefit from them not us. that's a real problem. and probably. we try to talk to some students about that. since we have to ask this something. then a protest march comes down the street we don't speak greek so we can't read what's on the banners it turns out that the demonstrators are upset about poor conditions in the hospitals as the result of a you ordered budget cuts. i wouldn't want to reduce in the european union not to because i don't like it because some of the measures i meant probably means that they are not with the people there with the money the european union is not a people going on with solidarity it's a capitalist union. many on the greek left

a critical of the e.u. in 2015 the new left wing prime minister and access to press called a referendum on whether greece should accept new bailout condition step by brussels 61 percent of voters said no but they voice remained heard. a huge finance ministers worked out a new deal they demanded even more austerity from greece which had a severe impact on the country's economy. i'm glad it's the same when the. these measures did fatal damage to the greeks perception of democracy the movement and i believe this was the moment when people across southern europe especially young people started to turn against the e.u. . and thus have opened. the money that i want to be at the demonstration we meet. she's $28.00 and has a degree in marketing but right now she's working at a supermarket for listen for euro's an hour we asked whether she's worried about

the future. of. africa as i know that hearing this and i don't have it checked. and china does not want to leave her country but the austerity measures have hit greek young people hard. you always have to pay for your lessons i feel angry i feel that this too are fair i think that's my parents and so many times see it here and this say our better minds going outside it's hope they call this the fall in greece because of the budget cuts imposed by brussels many like china have lost their faith in the european union. from the beginning i was so looking sagal wow we are all together. there and itself there is a fake. out there face mask was economical you know in order to.

feel people's in the back of the most people. now we're headed off to put a pest. hungry has traditionally felt close ties to europe but for several years now it's euro skeptic right wing government has been a thorn in the side of the. i think the. utopian union is a good idea on its own but i think the countries there should stand strong on their own we in hungary are not in their position in the european union it's a good thing that we are trying to be. in some points it's risky for. smaller countries in the european union and.

that's the famous heroes square we meet victor noise about are his father is german and his mother is hungary and but he doesn't feel lucky european. to get. 50 of the i support a conservative state a nation state. and i'm opposed to the european union. victor is active in the right wing conservative party of prime minister viktor all pan he's also involved in the election campaigns outside parliament he plays a video for huge election rally held last year. god it's like the whole country came together on this one day. we felt strength and peace. we felt we were one country. there were 3 emotional absolutely. i want the old fart around it all bounce nationalist populist rhetoric is popular

with many young people all bunched new electoral laws instituted in 2012 helped secure a 2 thirds majority in last year's parliamentary election despite winning just under 50 percent of the valued fetus also has enormous influence over the hunk area media and the courts many independent researchers said the ban poses a threat to democracy but that doesn't seem to bother a lot of young people. to go. many of them support. because he portrays himself as a rebel who is defending the hungary's freedom. he says he's protecting the country against foreign enemies who threaten angries national identity. and national values and that's when all of the. national identity is important to victor and he says that all dan is doing a good job of defending it. is to do that. radiate

strength that he has his own opinions and he expresses those opinions and he fights for them victor oregon's top priorities are the country and its people that. went not foreigners. not refugees. migration is the key issue for government in the run up to the european election the prime minister has said that his goal is to win an immigration majority in the european parliament. he uses migration to back his claims that hungary is fighting for its survival and its freedom. and when he does that he can avoid having to address other important political problems. as good as good he says that this is about the future

of hungary and europe which is a lot more important than health care or education. one of the key campaign themes is stop brussels claims that the e.u. is encouraging migrants to come to europe and he's managed to convince many young people in hungary of that we see that. this is a coordinated policy. it didn't happen overnight. but why would the e.u. do that. thus i have no idea. why should we have to absorb other cultures. we have our own culture. in the e.u. hungary's policies have met with robust criticism in march she was suspended from the european parliament's main center right group allegations that obama is undermining democracy. how far will you go what is the.

burgeoning book. viktor believes that the e.u. strategy is clear. his aristocratic brussels aimed to take complete control of the member states. but hungary wants to remain sovereign and determine its own domestic policy in the political process cannot and will not accept that. the. victor remains firm in his political convictions and opposed to the e.u. . but there are still dedicated pro europeans in hungary the momentum movement is the central political party that was founded 2 years ago. back then the government put up stop brussels posters. we went out and covered up the brussels with stickers so that the posters read stop moscow and stop. this going to get it's difficult

to be an opposition party and hungry right now. the government plays hardball the way you'd never see in a normal democracy my father was fired from his job at a state run agency because of my political activity. fortunately he found another job. momentum has fielded candidates for the upcoming european parliament elections. the party has a practical reason for supporting the european you. hungary is one of the largest recipients of the e.u. funding. for. the open that financial support could change because of or bans policies. that we want to get in the parliament to show people that hungary is more than viktor orbán we are part of hungary to reason all here. where now back in brussels deanna su live and is with us today. one gets into that

right now i'm in the chamber where all the votes and events take place. can also be offered by excited and passionate as a way to tackle show well i think it's totally cool to be in the same room with. the other politicians debate important it's use bad news and i hear they make decisions that can affect people's lives often puts a little intimidating a oh yes there's so much power in this room. now up to follow us on an important committee vote on the internet copyright they'll. still be there once it's not on an equal affairs committee is going to vote soon on article 13 distance. before the committee makes its decision there's still time for photos. so you all should i take your picture sure your 18 followers will like it more and

. the hall is packed for this vote. effort a lot more than last week right if this is a big deal all the lobbyists are here this is a really important vote. at the start thought it would let me begin by the vote on the copyright directive and it has been adopted by a large majority. if i ok so the committee has voted. that it was the final count. 16 voted in favor 9 against it it was pretty clear i'm gorgeous that relates to the full european parliament voted to approve the copyright protection legislation. team of 0 can is disappointed but says that it's good that before the votes there were major protests against the bill. you mentioned harms the human pretty young people have

become involved in the political process they're demonstrating to try to stop climate change just young people are becoming more politically active. people are divided on the concept of a united europe a positive development for some a disappointment for others in any case europe is changing. some yes. but i for the 1st time we're having a broad public debate about the future of europe and that's good but. it's clear that many young people really do have a lot to say about europe but governments in the media will have to do a better job of listening to those young people and take they concern seriously. because they are the ones who will shape europe's future.
