Reclaim the Future

The Spring Council focuses towards our proposals for empowering our youth.  On Thursday evening with a public debate in the center of Madrid, close to the square where the indignados camped, two years ago. We plan a plenary discussion at the Council for Saturday on our draft paper: “Reclaim the future; emancipatory action by, for and of European youth”.

The Council provides the opportunity to meet with many representatives of EQUO, learn more about the party and the EQUO politicians. This young party is establishing itself on the national electoral map and is gearing up for the elections next year where hopes are high for representation at the European level.

Renewable energy and Spain are an obvious combination and the Green Group in the European Parliament are organising a focus session on Friday morning May 10. In Spain, energy prices are soaring and the government reaction has been to end subsidies for renewable energy, while considering proposals for highly controversial and polluting shale gas exploitation. Against this backdrop, the Green Group will present proposals for a viable energy sector in both Spain and Europe as a whole.

Together with the member parties, the European Green Party is preparing for the EU2014 elections. The Committee will present its proposals to the Council. Together under one roof, with the opportunity for both structured and informal debate and exchange, we will be advancing the common electoral campaign throughout the Council.

In the menu above, you will find the programme schedule, the registration page, the practical information, the draft documents to vote and much more!

Contact us if you have any questions!

See you in Madrid!

EGP Secretary-General

Blog iconAre Europe's youth to be the collateral damage of austerity?
Spain has unemployment levels that have reached 26.6%. If you are under 25, then you can only wish, hope, beg, plead for that level. Spain's youth are facing an unemployment level of 55%. That means Spain, alone, is bearing the social strains of nearly one quarter of all Europe's unemployment. That is one country in 27. See if the Europe-wide perspective is fair, now.
