From October 16 to 18, the European Green Party is joining forces with NGOs and other pro-European parties for the first ever virtual Run for Europe!

A Green recovery to the coronavirus crisis will build a better tomorrow! Check out the summary of the "Coronavirus Recovery" resolution adopted by our member parties last weekend.

As Greens, we have always pushed for building a more sustainable and fair future, built on the values of solidarity and democracy. The global health pandemic is a crisis that we must face together, but we believe we cannot simply go back to “business-as-usual” as we begin to rebuild our societies and our economies. We have experienced first hand, and on a global scale, the shortcomings and failures of our old systems. We must learn from these experiences and rebuild things, better.

Europe Day has traditionally been an opportunity to look back at Europe’s achievements in terms of peace and prosperity. This year it is impossible to celebrate the fact that the European Union has been a war-free land for almost 75 years in the same way as we have done before. However, we can still look back at the words of the Schuman Declaration, one of the founding fathers of the EU, which gave birth to the Europe we now celebrate every year on 9 May.

We encourage all European citizens to closely follow advice from public health experts. 

We also want to express our gratitude to all workers from the health, medical and care sector, as well as to all workers that are ensuring that life can continue as smoothly as possible given the unique circumstances.
