Democracy is one of the basic pillars of the European Union, which it strives to promote within its territory but also beyond its borders thanks to treaties. With the upcoming European elections, the Union encourages people to vote in order to choose who represents them in the European Parliament, the directly-elected institution that defends their interests in the EU decision-making process. This infoclip shows images of a court of justice, demonstrations in favour of LGTBIQ+ rights in Brussels, media, coverage of the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, polling stations, the European Parliament's open day in Strasbourg and the Conference of the Future of Europe.
