The Shaking Up Parliament - Voice of the Last Generation (German: Parlament aufmischen – Stimme der Letzten Generation) is a minor political party in Germany that first participated in the 2024 European parliament elections. It is considered left-wing and supports environmentalist policies in general.[2]

History

[edit]

On February 7, 2024, the Last Generation announced that it would participate in the European elections in June of the same year and began collecting donations and the necessary 4,000 signatures.[3] On March 29, the Federal Electoral Committee approved the nomination.[4]

In the European elections, the Last Generation received 0.26% of the vote and failed to win a single seat.[5]

The Last Generation demands that the EU phases out oil, gas and coal by 2030, funded by new taxes for the "rich and super-rich". The EU is also to make reparations to former European colonies.[6] The party also calls for greater acceptance of asylum seekers, as well as further social justice.[7]
