We are proud to welcome Catalunya en Comú into our Green family.

As of Saturday 29 May, they were elected by delegates at the 33rd European Green Party Council and are the newest candidate member party of the European Greens.

As the Greens, we have our roots in the women's rights movement. We believe that our common struggles such as the climate crisis, but also the huge challenge lying ahead of us – recovering from the pandemic – require an intersectional approach. 

We want a recovery that is intersectional and inclusive because we know that the only way out of the pandemic is to centre people and the planet. We are convinced that recovery need to be transformative – including in terms of how we address gender inequalities.

The Eurovision Song Contest is all about inclusivity, showcasing the diversity of life and pro-Europeanism. Its message of unity has been a core part of the show. Thus, it does not come as a surprise that there are quite some Eurovision fans among the Green family.

Ahead of the finals this weekend, we're sharing our favourite Eurovision songs and our analysis of how Eurovision 2021 reflects Europe today and the contemporary issues of our time.

Grassroots activism has been an integral part of Green politics from the beginning of our journey.

The 33rd European Green Party Council will feature four climate activists during the Plenary 'Climate and Biodiversity - exchange between youth movements, Global South activists and Green policy makers' happening on Saturday, 29 May, after a Keynote Speech by Petra de Sutter.

As Deputy Prime Minister of Belgium and Minister of Public Administration, Public Enterprises, Telecommunication and the Postal Services, Petra De Sutter is committed to addressing the challenges of digitalisation and sustainability and ensuring a green line across government policy.

She will be one of the Keynote Speakers at the 33rd European Green Party Council!

The 33rd European Green Party Council is approaching. Our resolutions put into writing our common positions after in-depth discussions among the Greens and are voted on by the EGP full member parties at our Councils.

Read the 11 summarised draft resolutions that have been tabled by 14 member parties and groups across Europe ahead of the Council!

Today is the European Day of Rail. Rail has been a critical part of the development of European mobility. Europe's rail system has had a key role in connecting European cities across the continent.

Transportation has been a major focus of the European Greens, with investment in rail being a key Green demand. We can have a just and sustainable transition that puts workers and their rights at the forefront! The enhancement of European railway networks will mean new green jobs that offer fair remuneration and decent working conditions.

On World Press Freedom Day, the European Greens are highlighting lawsuits used to silence critics as a threat to European democracy. Journalists have faced an especially high degree of violence and harassment in the past year.

But the hostilities under which they must work don’t end there. The Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP) is wielded by individuals and companies to keep journalists from speaking out on issues of public concern.
