The shift of youth towards conservative positions, especially among boys, often leaves another reality out of focus: the primary political option among young people, both in elections and in other instances of political participation, is abstention. In the 2024 European elections, only 2 out of 10 people under 24 exercised their right to vote. According to the Centre for Opinion Studies, the youngest age groups are the most abstentionist (less than half claim to be sure they would vote) and it is also the age group that is least informed about politics.
