Annalena Baerbock will be the first ever Green candidate and the only woman running for Chancellor in Germany. At a time of great challenges, she represents a different way of doing politics: renewal rather than the status quo. 

With Baerbock as Chancellor candidate, the German Greens are well positioned to govern and take on the task of addressing the climate crisis!

Reports of Russian jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny's critical condition following a hunger strike has alarmed the Greens. 

This open letter addressed to Ursula von der Leyen and Charles Michel calls on the EU to protect the well-being of Navalny and end the campaign of repression against him and his associates. 

On Earth Day 2021, we celebrate another spring amidst the pandemic. Today, we are called to remember that our own health and survival depends on the health of our planet.

Ahead of President Joe Biden's Climate Summit, European leaders have reached an agreement which is indicative of progress, but does not yet meet the scale of the climate crisis. 

After months of negotiations, an agreement was eventually found between the European Parliament, the European Commission and the Council to start the Conference on the Future of Europe. 

We welcome this long-waited outcome and are now putting all our efforts in making the Conference a successful democratic process that delivers change and drives Europe closer to its citizens.

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.

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!
