Their ideas and ideology is in the right place, but god are they clueless.
And this usage of change.org is just another evidence for that.
When I was at a meet and greet with a local chapter, I asked them about using mastodon and matrix and such or just open source for communication and internal stuff. They were looking at me baffled as I was talking in a foreign language… Yet they asked for my contacts so that they could add me via WhatsApp.
When I listened to an interview with Maral Koohestanian on Jung & Naiv I was done with this party. This woman was sent in as the top candidate for the recent election by German Volt and she had no clue what their own party manifesto said. She had grand visions but never any specific plans for anything, just basically saying We need to have a talk about this or that and then we will find a way somehow. It was embarrassing.
In general I agree to use official tools first, but we need to pause before our dismissal bursts out. As in another recent case neither the parliarment nor the commission is being adressed.
If you ask me it is remarkable, that this time a fairly (prominent) individual started the petition, not the party that he is a member of. I can only imagine that Damian himself or Volt hopes for broader acceptance and signages by acting disguised? This would be the more positive than another thought in which they are lacking communication and cooperation skills.
Both quite often strongly underscoring their european mind and approach, but fail to use way better alternatives for the selected platform. Probably to reach more people who know it already and because the user base is bigger over there.
I never understand why they dont use the official Petition Portal
Change.org: Headquarters San Francisco, California, U.S.
100%! External non EU platform. Volt get your shit together already.
This doesn’t work for me this way. First time mistake? ok, Second time why?, Third time, no way!
( I just send Volt an email)
"Due to the large volume of mail we have to process, it can sometimes take a while until you receive a response. Our apologies for that. "

I havent watched the interview by myself, but I heard the exact same thing from multiple people.
Do you mind providing an update, if you get an answer?
Sure…but nothing yet.

I still haven’t received any reaction at all. Nor from Damian ( EP) nor Volt.
You mean the EU citizen initiative portal?
That’s the proper channel, yes.
