00:20 >> Hi, I am Ania Rakoczy, I'm 21 and I am an Erasmus student here in Madrid,
00:26 but I'm from Poland where I studied diplomacy, here I studied international relations.
00:30 The main topic I think is defense because nowadays we live in hard times,
00:37 we have a lot of military conflicts and I just want to feel safe in my own country
00:43 and in the whole world hopefully one day.
00:46 I just hope that they, that politics will be able to talk and they will remember
00:52 about the reason why they are politics, that they will know how to progress when it comes
01:01 to European Union extension of countries and yeah, hopefully we'll be able
01:09 to do another step further together.
01:13 >> I want to see more representatives, more MEPs who stand in the middle
01:20 of the road, not on the fringes.
01:22 If we want a stronger Europe, we need people who try to bring us together, not break us apart.
01:31 >> My name is Alexander McAuliffe, I am 16 years old,
01:38 this is my first time voting in the elections.
01:40 I feel like the current biggest issue in the EU would be homelessness and poverty,
01:50 it's getting bigger every day and I think we should implement a strategy
01:54 like the Canadians have with the Housing First strategy,
01:56 which is managing to end homelessness slowly, slowly,
01:58 but at least it's managing to do something about it.
02:01 I hope that the candidates elected have my concerns at heart and manage
02:05 to implement some bold moves like trying to provide some more investments
02:09 for housing and poverty.
02:15 >> My name is Laurence Chauvin-Buteau, I am a Franco-Cameroonian and I am the artistic director
02:22 of the brand Laurence Airline.
02:23 Today, regarding the European elections,
02:27 what seems to be a priority to me is the environment.
02:31 The environment is something essential to me.
02:36 We all know that today we are experiencing climate change,
02:40 and I think that beyond waiting for disasters to happen,
02:46 I think it is essential that governments from different countries
02:51 can come together and have collective actions.
02:54 >> We can't just live off climate change or that there could be other epidemics, but…
02:59 [Sounds of a water fountain]
03:14 >> And for me, the unity of Europe would really allow us to have
03:19 a collective intelligence and a collective action for the environment,
03:23 because in my opinion, it is the basis to preserve life on this planet.
