2014 European Elections: this time it’s different!
In 2004, the European Greens were frontrunners in organising the first pan-European campaign for European Elections.
Ten years later, we will be the first European party to organise an open Europe-wide Online Primary to select our two leading candidates.
In times of financial crisis and declining trust in European institutions, we will demonstrate that European politics can be different - participatory, interactive, democratic and fun! Follow how our 2014 Elections Campaign builds up and join us in reloading European democracy! You can already join the conversation on twitter with #GreenPrimary!

Keywords:Six candidates have presented themselves to become a Green Leading Candidate in the Green Primary, that we are organising as European Greens: five of them nominated by their Green party, one by the Federation of Young European Greens.

Since then Europe has grown and the size of the group that is united by European democracy is over 400 million people.
