Why is this time diferent?

Every five years, lots of citizens around the EU vote for a specific number of MEPs (all of them from different types of parties and countries) who will be the people responsible to make decisions for us in the European Parliament.

Who can vote?

This is a simple question to answer: In our country, Spain, only the ones who are above the age of 18 can vote . This year, we must vote 54 Spanish MEPs who will represent us in the European Parliament the next five years.

Not all the countries must vote for 54 MEPs, depending on the population of the country and the number of parties that they have, the citizens vote more or less MEPs. For example in Germany, the citizens must vote 96 MEPs.

Which will be the day of the elections?

The elections will take place from 22^th  to 25^th of May in all the European countries. In Spain the citizens will vote the 22^th of May.

Why this time is different?

Nowadays, we are living difficult times in Spain and also in Europe; there are lots of poor people living in the streets, unemployed people and the economic situation isn’t solve, so the citizens don’t trust the European Union and they want to get out of it.

These are the reasons to say that these European elections are different, because we need a perfect Union to become the perfect organization in the world, and we also need to become a family with 28 brothers.

This 22^th of May you must vote and impact to the society.
