Cyprus' Security Should Be Anchored in Europe

In an increasingly unstable geopolitical environment, the discussion about Cyprus' security needs to be redefined with European terms, given its membership in the European Union and its partially occupied status. Cyprus' security cannot be solely a national matter, but must be integrated into a broader framework of European security and defense. The Volt party proposes a path towards the completion of the EU, ensuring a common European foreign and defense policy and a Euro-Army with joint planning and economic rationalization of defense spending. This approach is not based on warlike pursuits, but on the need for a strategically autonomous Europe, capable of guaranteeing the security and prosperity of its citizens and acting as a geopolitical player.
