The Greens/European Free Alliance at a glance

Flag of European Parliament European Parliament Green Environment & Climate Europhile Founded 1999

The Greens/EFA Group stands as the ecologically progressive force within the European Parliament. It unites environmental policy with social justice, regional self-determination, and pro-European federalism. The group sees itself as a driving force for Europe's climate-neutral transformation.

Values and Ideology

At its core is a holistic ecological worldview, where economic activities respect planetary boundaries. The group views the state as an active shaper, safeguarding livelihoods through stringent regulation and targeted investments. Their humanistic vision is characterized by individual freedom, anti-discrimination, and global solidarity. A distinctive feature is their alliance with the European Free Alliance (EFA), which emphasizes the right to cultural identity and regional autonomy, advocating for a "Europe of Regions" rather than a Europe of nation-states.

Political Priorities

The political agenda centers on the "Green Deal" – advocating for the complete decarbonization of industry and the expansion of renewable energies. The group also champions an agricultural shift away from industrial farming towards enhanced animal welfare and organic production. Socially, they advocate for robust workers' rights, gender equality, and a compassionate asylum policy. Their target demographic includes urban communities, younger generations, as well as civil rights advocates and regionalists who demand a profound transformation of the current economic system.

Role in the Political System

Within the EU's power dynamics, the group often acts as a constructive yet demanding bridge-builder. They push established mainstream parties towards more ambitious climate targets and serve as a "conscience" on matters of the rule of law and democracy. Strategically, they focus on strengthening the European Parliament's role vis-à-vis the Council to deepen European integration. The inherent tension often lies in balancing radical ecological demands with the necessary capacity for compromise within large coalitions, frequently leading to internal debates about their own identity.
