The fact that Ivanna Volochiy is the lead candidate of the Latvian party Kustība Par! (Movement For!) for the European elections has also been noted beyond Latvia’s borders. Volochiy’s candidacy is special because she does not come from the country she is standing for but from Ukraine. „It’s time for a real Ukrainian voice in the European Parliament,“ said the 42-year-old when announcing her candidacy in Riga.
