happy birthday germany's signal. to use being our constitution 1st 70. 2 served as an authority for germany and. are seen to be signal tencent this week on. europe and its young people a complicated relationship. they demonstrate against climate change but aren't interested in the european election because it's just me what about you not really . did you vote just to get out of my i think my parents will make me vote saying we

are. we want to find out what young people think about europe we visited several e.u. countries including germany we met people who were committed to the european concept . of this is vote and those who are opposed to it. until we are up means nothing to me but. how can politicians get young people interested to vote the right if we want europe to have a future with young people here need a future so. we

travel to come on in early march right in the middle of a windstorm. that is stormy times for europe. and the volunteers are trying to get young people to vote in the upcoming european election. that is the way all of europeans part of the e.u. would like a family medium of us fund that i love my dad's french and my mom's german so europe is really important to me at the head don't know what other games and. disadvantage is part of an e.u. parliament effort to get out the vote but it's cold this time i'm vote. volunteers can sign up on a website. devoted focused on begin on and we want to get out into the streets and explain to people why this election matters it's. multan 250000 volunteers throw out you're a couple already registered the parliament provides information procedures 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 how 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 not laugh when you should be proud that you can vote for concrete a team dismissed me as the political parties are responsible for addressing specific issues. i have to remain absolutely neutral because it's union card at least kinds of campaigns really get out the vote research class cruel man 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 with the young people will vote in european elections only if the campaign addresses specific issues that are important to them is does he mumbled so if the politicians want more young people to vote they'll have to talk about those issues that's. one of the volunteers is deanna to live and she's a star on you tube an instagram and says the european concept is important for young people. if it's a tie if it's i think it's totally implode. to show that in the united europe we can have more innovation and opportunities especially for young people. that you're good at that's more influence than individual countries continents or powerful corporations have unfair and. for 16 years now

indiana has been posting photos and videos on the internet. i shoot most of my videos in my bedroom i like that homey feeling because it brings you closer to the viewers who are. indiana has more than 600000 new chewed subscribers she usually talks about fashion and cosmetics yeah at the cons welcome to a new video today i'm going to talk about a topic close to my hot cellulite. this is my favorite right now. yeah that's why i like this and not it's not floor length so your legs may get cold i think. deanna has turned into a profession for cosmetics and fashion companies pay her to promote their products and videos so they can reach your followers. basically comes from there so you do politics now you have. to 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 set of tires. today deanna is in brussels the e.u. parliament has invited several internet implements is to campaign on behalf of europe . you've. covered us to influence on part 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 in the upcoming election. i'm going from how about interconnected your. networks that said. do young people take you for granted because they don't know what the all the jew rip was like to find out more about that we travel to fitness.

these young people are part of the e.u.'s erasmus student exchange program they come from all over europe. he comes from phil austria england i'm from a southerner i'm from belgium he's from london from swabian. malta 9000000 students have taken part in the arrest most program since it began in 1987. people to be all europeans are different but they're also connected and that's really beautiful and this is a gulp it should i think it's really important to meet people from different cultures because it's a broad and it's your perspective which i by this over time we've become more european than german i've seen that here and it's surprised me when you get a. little rest most often lead to the old can i say sion has changed the way that

young people look to europe for the better. and restless is the most successful program of the you are that you can see that from statistics from the budget from everything and it really works it has creating ass and so belonging to the e.u. and that then off duty and responsibility towards the us 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 iraqis most babies but the program can only go so far. as much as we try to prepare europeans for a european. in future we also have to realize that the middle classes can be quite nationalistic and that's true for all countries this is and that's why. we're on the road again this time we're headed for the hospital european politics brussels.

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

voting card there is the voting machine and now we're going to take a roll call vote. let's do it but now that i'm older m.p.'s 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. but 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 because of polygamy vote them and it's relaxed. you're in the minority. so 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. quote as a bit in short this law is going to strangle the internet in a way that we couldn't have imagined in our worst nightmares at least i have toiled and could then try to take away the content freedom that lets me do my job. and have our everyday lives will be totally screwed. it's a great shows. 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 in many ways it's

a clash between generations vulcan provides his followers with updates via instagram. next we'll travel to graze 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 the i book.

mismanagement tax evasion corrupt a late 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. nks many greeks lost their jobs and pensions taxes saud poverty and deprivation has become rampant here. 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 lanie kind of molly. condit and really he if i could stay here i would i like living in athens 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. but. we visit a nice family a child my mother works as an interpreter and her father is an architect. during the economic crisis the family had to sell their house and move into an apartment. bought the parents refused to cut back on their children's education. and these are

still going 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. 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 a young and well educated. to build new. 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. as we have to ask you 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 a result of e.u. ordered budget cuts. i wouldn't want greece 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 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 conditions sit by brussels 61 percent of voters said no but their voice remained on 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 use of these measures did fatal damage to the greeks perception of democracy 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 hope and. the money that they want to make 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 euros 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. and china does not want to leave her country but the austerity measures have hit the greek young people hard you always have to pay for your lessons i feel angry i feel that this too are fair i pay something good out to my parents and so many times to this say our better mind is going now so it's old k. cool is 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 looking sagal wow we are all together. there is so fake there is a fake smiles and their face mask was economical you know in order to. heal

peoples in the back of the most people. now we're headed off to put a. 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 their 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 they're. trying to be. in some points it's risky for. smaller countries in the european union and. that's the famous heroes square we made victor noise about. his father is german

and his mother is hungary and he doesn't feel like a european. is going to get. 50 of the i support a conservative state a nation state. and i'm opposed to the european union and the. victor is active in the right wing conservative fetus party of prime minister viktor orban he's also involved in the election campaigns outside parliament he plans 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. to material motional absolutely. i want the old fart on the ball bounce nationalist populist rhetoric is popular

with many young people obama's 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 followed fiji has also has enormous influence over the hunky area media and the courts many independent researchers say that poses a threat to democracy but that doesn't seem to bother a lot of young people. to go. many of them support or bond 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 ungreased national identity. and national values and that's when all of their. national identity is important to victor and he says that all dan is doing a good job of defending it. mr how does he do that. and his

strength the 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. went in the 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 anti 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. 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 to 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. yes this is a coordinated policy it didn't happen overnight. but why would the e.u. do that. thus no idea. why should we have to absorb other cultures. we have our own culture. in the e.u. hungary's policies have met was robust criticism in march he was suspended from the european parliament's main center right group allegations that orbán is undermining democracy. how far will you go what is the.

burning books also victor believes that the e.u. strategy is clear the. aristocrats in brussels aim to take complete control of all 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 centrist 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. it's difficult

to be in opposition 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 union hungary is one of the largest recipients of the e.u. funding. that financial support could change because of or bans policies. that we want to get into parliament to show people that hungary is more than viktor orban we are part of hungary to. where now back in brussels d'anna soon live and is with us today.

right now i'm. in the chamber where all the votes and events take place. it's a gas can get out. of my excited and passionate and exact show well i think it's totally cool to be in the same room with. the other politicians debate important it's use in bad news and yet i think they make decisions that can affect people's lives when i think of this a little intimidating a oh yes there's so much power in this room. now she'll have followers on an important committee vote on the internet copyright deal. they're going to want to legal affairs committee is going to vote soon on article $13.00 cost of that before the committee makes its decision there's still time for fotos. so we all should i take your picture sure your 18 followers will like it

a little more. the hole is packed for this photo. of a lot more the last week right this is a big deal all the lobbyists are here this is a really important vote. at the start thought were we begin by the vote on the copyright to direct this and it has been adopted by a large majority. if ok so the committee has voted yes that if it was the final count. 16 voted in favor 9 against it it was pretty clear. voice or. later the full european parliament voted to approve the copyright protection legislation. t.-mo vulcan is disappointed but says that it's good that before the vote there were major protests against the bill. you mention the harms of human predators from younger 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 as you put it to show . people are divided on the concept of the united europe a positive development for some a disappointment for others in any case europe is changing. yes. but i play for the 1st time we're having a broad public debate about the future of europe and that's good and that's i think . 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 a concern seriously. because they are the ones who shape europe's future.
