In the last election in 2014, turnout among the young was particularly low, with only 28 percent of people 18 to 24 casting a ballot, compared to some 51 percent of those over 55. This year's elections are scheduled for May 23-26., and seven weeks the before E.U. elections, NBC News spoke with young people in six countries to better understand what it means to be European in 2019.Gonzalo Ahijado describes himself as a digital nomad.
Despite his self-professed lack of knowledge, he feels fortunate that he has the opportunity to live and work across the E.U.“I like the E.U.,” he said. “For me to travel is to feel free. For me traveling is freedom.”Unlike many other young Croats, Sabina Stipanec decided to remain in her homeland instead of moving to another European country.Since then, migration out of the country has skyrocketed, especially among young people looking for work.
“A lot of the reasons why Croatian people voted for the European Union revolved around the corruption in Croatia and not trusting our politicians,” she said. “We have some kind of security when we are in the E.U. and some kind of protection.”Hannes Bumann is part of a rapidly disappearing breed: He’s a farmer whose family has owned their farm in a small village in the north of Germany for a century.
“Now we’re down to only six bulls. It’s really the hardest part," he said."You have a connection with them.” “The E.U. has a positive impact on our lives,” he said. “I am free to decide where I want to work and where I want to live, and that is possible without a large effort within the E.U.”The small town where Lærke Løvendal Kristensen lives is closer to the German border than it is to Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark.
