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!

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.
