Almost two-thirds of Green parties' lists for the upcoming European elections are headed by women, showing that the Greens are leading the way in redressing the unacceptable gender imbalance in politics.
In the run-up to the European elections on 6-9 June, all political parties in Europe are in the process of drawing up their lists.
So far, 14 of the member parties of the European Green Party have already drawn up their list. Of those, 9 of these 14 lists have a woman at the top of the list. This corresponds to 64%.
In Austria, Lena Schilling leads the Die Grünen electoral list
In Belgium, Saskia Bricmont leads the Ecolo list, and Sara Matthieu leads the Groen list
In the Czech Republic, Johanna Nejedlová leads the Zelení electoral list
In Denmark, Kira-Marie Peter-Hansen leads the Socialistisk Folkeparti (SF) list
In France, Marie Toussaint leads the list of Les Ecologistes
In Germany, Terry Reintke leads the list of Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen
In Latvia, Elīna Pinto leads the Progresīvie electoral list
and in Sweden, Alice Bah Kuhnke leads the electoral list of Miljöpartiet
(The national lists for the EU elections will further be completed in the next months).
The Greens/EFA group in the European Parliament is also the only group with gender parity. “On this International Day for Women's Rights, and with less than 100 days to go until the European elections, we’re proud that the Green parties take the lead in tackling the gender imbalance in the world of politics", European Green Party co-chairs Mélanie Vogel and Thomas Waitz conclude.
