Success
Here you will find a selection of demands from the Federal Youth Session that have been followed up in parliament or by individual National Councillors or Councillors of States and that have had a political impact.
Often, parliamentary processes take time and demands are not discussed immediately. Frequently, once they have been discussed, they have an indirect impact, either as input or by contributing to other ongoing debates.
