All roads lead to Athens

On Wednesday 27 January, members and friends of the European Green Party convened for a virtual New Year's Reception. Traditionally organised in Brussels and gathering mostly local supporters, this year we hosted our Green family from all over Europe. The reception was an opportunity to take stock of the year 2020 in all its unprecedented ways, but also celebrate our green successes. Our host was the talented Polish activist Michał Suchora who navigated through our virtual event taking place in both Brussels and Warsaw. 

Today, MEPs will vote/voted on an urgency resolution on the human rights situation in Turkey, notably the case of Selahattin Demirtaş and other prisoners of conscience.

Hosted by the EGP’s Committee Member Oras Tynkkynen, and featuring Terhi Lehtonen, State Secretary of the Finnish Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, as well as MEP Micha Bloss of the Greens/EFA Group, we discussed the European Climate Law in more detail.
