&lt;p>I Europeiska unionen kan demokratin kännas som en självklarhet för oss i dag. Men så har det inte alltid varit. För inte så länge sedan levde miljontals européer under förhållanden då de inte kunde rösta eller ens tala fritt. Deras liv kunde vara i fara bara för att de var annorlunda, hade andra övertygelser eller ville ha ett annat liv. Demokratin är en värdefull gåva som vi fått ta över från tidigare generationer. De hoppades på den och stred för den. Nu är det upp till oss att bevara den, att göra den starkare och föra den vidare till kommande generationer. Det effektivaste sättet att göra det är att rösta – för ju fler som röstar, desto starkare blir demokratin. 6–9 juni 2024: Använd din röst, annars bestämmer andra åt dig.&lt;/p>&lt;p>© ANDCO A/S, 2024.

&lt;p>Danas u Europskoj uniji demokraciju možda uzimamo zdravo za gotovo. No to nije uvijek bio slučaj. Ne tako davno milijuni Europljana živjeli su u okolnostima koje im nisu dopuštale da slobodno glasaju pa čak ni da se slobodno izražavaju. Život im je mogla ugroziti puka činjenica da su drugačiji, da imaju druga uvjerenja ili da žele drugačiji život. Demokracija je dragocjeno nasljeđe prethodnih naraštaja. Njoj su težili i za nju su se borili. Na nama je da je očuvamo, osnažimo i prenesemo budućim naraštajima. Najučinkovitiji način za to je glasanje jer što više ljudi glasa, to demokracija postaje snažnija.

&lt;p>En la Unión Europea, la democracia puede parecernos evidente, pero las cosas no siempre ha sido así. Hace no tanto, millones de europeos no podían votar ni expresarse libremente. Sus vidas podían estar en peligro simplemente por ser distintos, por tener creencias diferentes o por querer otro tipo de vida. La democracia es un tesoro transmitido de generación en generación. Ellos aspiraron a la democracia y lucharon por ella. Ahora es nuestra responsabilidad mantenerla, hacerla más fuerte y transmitirla a las generaciones venideras. La manera más eficaz de hacerlo es votar, ya que cuanta más gente vota, más fuerte es la democracia. Del 6 al 9 de junio de 2024: Usa tu voto.

In the European Union, democracy may seem obvious to us today. But this has not always been the case. Not so long ago, millions of Europeans lived through times when they could not vote or even speak up freely. When their very lives could be in danger simply for being different, for holding different beliefs or for wanting a different life. Democracy is a precious gift passed on to us from previous generations. They aspired towards it and fought for it. Now it is up to us to maintain it, to make it stronger and pass it on to the generations to come.The most effective way to do so is by voting - because the more people vote, the stronger democracy becomes.

&lt;p>Στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση, η δημοκρατία μπορεί να φαίνεται προφανής για εμάς σήμερα. Αυτό όμως δεν συνέβαινε πάντοτε. Σε μια εποχή όχι πολύ μακρινή, εκατομμύρια Ευρωπαίοι έζησαν καταστάσεις στις οποίες δεν μπορούσαν να ψηφίσουν ούτε καν να εκφραστούν ελεύθερα. Η ίδια τους η ζωή μπορεί να κινδύνευε, απλώς και μόνο επειδή ήταν διαφορετικοί, είχαν διαφορετικές απόψεις ή επιθυμούσαν μια διαφορετική ζωή. Η δημοκρατία είναι ένα πολύτιμο δώρο που μας κληροδότησαν οι προηγούμενες γενιές. Την οραματίστηκαν και αγωνίστηκαν για την επίτευξή της. Τώρα εναπόκειται σε εμάς να τη διατηρήσουμε, να την ενισχύσουμε και να την κληροδοτήσουμε στις επόμενες γενιές. Ο αποτελεσματικότερος τρόπος για να γίνει αυτό είναι η ψήφος – διότι όσο περισσότεροι άνθρωποι ψηφίζουν, τόσο ισχυρότερη γίνεται η δημοκρατία.

&lt;p>Demokracie v Evropské unii nám dnes může připadat samozřejmá. Ale vždy tomu tak nebylo. Ještě nedávno žily miliony Evropanů v časech, kdy nemohli svobodně volit, a dokonce ani promluvit. I jejich životy mohly být v ohrožení jen proto, že byli jiní, měli odlišné názory či chtěli jiný život. Demokracie je cenný dar, který jsme dostali od předchozích generací. Usilovali o ni a bojovali za ni. Nyní je na nás, abychom ji chránili, posilovali ji a předali ji budoucím generacím. Nejúčinnějším způsobem, jak toho dosáhnout, je hlasovat – protože čím více lidí hlasuje, tím silnější se demokracie stává.

&lt;p>В Европейския съюз демокрацията може да ни изглежда очевидна днес, но това невинаги е било така. Не много отдавна милиони европейци са живели във времена, в които не са можели да гласуват или дори да изразяват мнението си свободно. Животът им е можел да бъде застрашен само защото са различни, имат различни убеждения или искат да живеят по различен начин. Демокрацията е ценен дар, който ни е завещан от предишните поколения. Тя е била техният идеал и те са се борили за нея. Сега е нашият ред да я запазим, да я направим по-силна и да я предадем на следващите поколения. Най-ефективният начин е да гласуваме&nbsp;– защото колкото повече хора гласуват, толкова по-силна става демокрацията. На 6&nbsp;–&nbsp;9 юни 2024&nbsp;г.: използвай гласа си&nbsp;– ако ли не, други ще решават вместо теб.&lt;/p>&lt;p>© ANDCO A/S, 2024. All rights reserved.

&lt;p>Für uns in der Europäischen Union ist Demokratie heutzutage vielleicht ganz selbstverständlich. Doch das war nicht immer so. Es ist noch gar nicht so lange her, da konnten Millionen Europäerinnen und Europäer nicht frei wählen oder gar frei ihre Meinung äußern. Einfach anders zu sein, anders zu glauben oder sich schlichtweg ein anderes Leben zu wünschen: Das konnte die Menschen damals in Lebensgefahr bringen. Die Demokratie ist ein wertvolles Geschenk, das frühere Generationen ans uns weitergegeben haben. Sie haben sich dafür eingesetzt und dafür gekämpft. Nun liegt es an uns, dieses Gut zu bewahren, zu stärken und an künftige Generationen weiterzugeben. Und das tun wir am besten, indem wir wählen gehen. Denn je mehr Menschen wählen, desto stärker wird die Demokratie. Am 6.–9.&nbsp;Juni 2024 ist es so weit: Nutze deine Stimme. Sonst entscheiden andere für dich.&lt;/p>&lt;p>© ANDCO A/S, 2024.

&lt;p>Demokracia sa nám v súčasnej Európskej únii môže zdať samozrejmou. Ale nebolo tomu vždy tak. Ešte nedávno žili milióny Európanov v časoch, keď nemohli slobodne ani voliť, ani vyjadriť svoj názor. Keď ich životy boli ohrozené len z jednoduchého dôvodu, že boli odlišní, zastávali iný názor alebo túžili po inom spôsobe života. Demokracia je vzácny dar, ktorý nám odovzdali predošlé generácie. Túžili po nej a bojovali za ňu. Teraz je na nás, aby sme si ju udržali, posilnili ju a postúpili budúcim generáciám. Najlepším spôsobom, ako to dosiahnuť, je hlasovať.

&lt;p>Na União Europeia, a democracia pode hoje parecer-nos óbvia. Mas nem sempre foi assim. Há não muito tempo, milhões de europeus sentiram na pele o que era não poder votar ou sequer falar livremente. Uma época em que até a sua vida podia estar em perigo simplesmente por serem diferentes, por terem crenças diferentes ou por desejarem uma vida diferente. A democracia é uma dádiva preciosa que nos foi transmitida pelas gerações anteriores que a ela aspiraram e por ela lutaram. Cabe-nos agora a nós preservá-la, torná-la mais forte e transmiti-la às gerações vindouras. A forma mais eficaz de o fazer é votando – porque quantas mais pessoas votarem, mais forte se torna a democracia.

&lt;p>Demokratia saattaa vaikuttaa meistä tänä päivänä itsestään selvältä Euroopan unionissa. Näin ei kuitenkaan ole aina ollut. Ei ole vielä kauaakaan siitä, kun miljoonat eurooppalaiset eivät voineet äänestää tai edes ilmaista mielipidettään vapaasti. Jopa heidän henkensä saattoi olla uhattuna pelkästään siksi, että he olivat erilaisia, heillä oli eriäviä katsomuksia tai he halusivat elää erilaista elämää. Demokratia on kallisarvoinen lahja edellisiltä sukupolvilta. He tavoittelivat demokratiaa ja taistelivat sen puolesta. Nyt meidän tehtävänämme on säilyttää demokratia, vahvistaa sitä ja siirtää se tuleville sukupolville. Tehokkain tapa tähän on äänestäminen, sillä mitä useammat ihmiset äänestävät, sitä vahvempi demokratiasta tulee. 6–9. kesäkuuta 2024: Käytä ääntäsi tai muut päättävät puolestasi.&lt;/p>&lt;p>© ANDCO A/S, 2024.

&lt;p>Tegenwoordig lijkt democratie voor ons in de Europese Unie haast iets vanzelfsprekends. Maar dat is niet altijd zo geweest. Het is nog niet zo lang geleden dat miljoenen Europeanen geen stemrecht hadden en hun mening niet vrij konden uiten. Het kon levensgevaarlijk zijn om simpelweg anders te zijn, een andere overtuiging te hebben of een ander soort leven te willen leiden. Democratie is een waardevol geschenk dat wij hebben gekregen van Europeanen uit vorige generaties. Zij hebben zich ingezet voor de democratie en ervoor gevochten. Nu moeten wij de democratie behouden, versterken en doorgeven aan de generaties die na ons komen. Dit lukt het best wanneer we gaan stemmen.
