“Green Policies Are About Our Entire Way of Life”
“Green Policies Are about Our Entire Way of Life” Article by Inés Sabanés August 31, 2021 The Covid-19 pandemic is the latest in a string of crises Spain has faced in recent years, which have left the country weakened and many worried about its future. With elections on the horizon, Member of the Spanish Parliament Inés Sabanés explains how an all-encompassing Green vision can transform every aspect of society, and why Europe has the potential to help Spain overcome many of its difficulties. Green European Journal: From the perspective of the Greens (Verdes Equo), what are the key political issues facing Spain in 2021? Inés Sabanés: The pandemic has reset political priorities at both the Spanish and European levels. Three fundamental issues stick out; they were important during the 2021 Madrid elections and are present throughout our daily political life. First is the economic and social recovery: in response to the crisis caused by the pandemic but also in connection to the climate emergency. The distribution of projects arising from European funds needs to bring us out of this crisis through a fundamental structural change to the way our country works. Spain today is too susceptible to crises – our economy is overdependent on tourism for example – and needs to build its future on a more solid, productive, and better developed economic model. The second major issue is the rise of the far right. Frequent elections have been a fundamental error and a lack of consensus between parties in government has led to a rise in the number of far-right members of parliament. -

Green Parties and Elections to the European Parliament, 1979–2019 Green Par Elections
Chapter 1 Green Parties and Elections, 1979–2019 Green parties and elections to the European Parliament, 1979–2019 Wolfgang Rüdig Introduction The history of green parties in Europe is closely intertwined with the history of elections to the European Parliament. When the first direct elections to the European Parliament took place in June 1979, the development of green parties in Europe was still in its infancy. Only in Belgium and the UK had green parties been formed that took part in these elections; but ecological lists, which were the pre- decessors of green parties, competed in other countries. Despite not winning representation, the German Greens were particularly influ- enced by the 1979 European elections. Five years later, most partic- ipating countries had seen the formation of national green parties, and the first Green MEPs from Belgium and Germany were elected. Green parties have been represented continuously in the European Parliament since 1984. Subsequent years saw Greens from many other countries joining their Belgian and German colleagues in the Euro- pean Parliament. European elections continued to be important for party formation in new EU member countries. In the 1980s it was the South European countries (Greece, Portugal and Spain), following 4 GREENS FOR A BETTER EUROPE their successful transition to democracies, that became members. Green parties did not have a strong role in their national party systems, and European elections became an important focus for party develop- ment. In the 1990s it was the turn of Austria, Finland and Sweden to join; green parties were already well established in all three nations and provided ongoing support for Greens in the European Parliament. -

We proudly present to you the documentation of the 2nd Global Young Greens Congress held in Berlin from 8th to 14th of August 2010! More than 100 participants from over 50 countries spent five days of discussing as well as exchanging opinions and experiences from their homecountries in order to get closer together and fight with “Youth Power for a Global Green Change“. Workshops, fishbowl discussions and a world café were organised as parts of the congress. The debated topics were endless – reaching from economics and gender issues to social justice, peace and conflicts and - of course - climate change. After three days of debating, two days of General Assem- bly followed. In this, new structures were adopted as well as several topical proposals to form a wider political platform. With this documentation, we are trying to show what the congress was about and what was behind. -
2011-Holyrood-Manifesto.Pdf
SCOTTISH PARLIAMENT MANIFESTO 2011 This is a crucial election. UK Ministers are cutting our public services, and all the other Holyrood parties are debating how to do exactly the same. Governments of all colours in London and Edinburgh have neglected our environment, let inequality widen, and narrowed our politics. Only Greens are offering an alternative to this failed agenda. We’ll raise revenue from the wealthy and from big business, and invest in the things that matter. We think the Scottish Parliament was created for this. We’ll protect Scotland’s public services, and build the low-carbon economy the others only talk about, to cut energy bills, create jobs and tackle climate change. If you agree, make your 2nd vote Green on 5th May 2011.

Dimensions and Alignments in European Union Politics: Cognitive Constraints and Partisan Responses

European Studies Program, International Institute, University of Wisconsin--Madison Madison, Wisconsin http://polyglot.lss.wisc.edu/eur/ 1 Dimensions and Alignments in European Union Politics: Cognitive Constraints and Partisan Responses Simon Hix Department of Government, London School of Economics and Political Science, London, United Kingdom Abstract As the European Union (EU) has evolved, the study agenda has shifted from ‘European integration’ to ‘EU politics’. Missing from this new agenda, however, is an understanding of the ‘cognitive constraints’ on actors, and how actors respond: i.e. the shape of the EU ‘political space’ and the location of social groups and competition between actors within this space. The article develops a theoretical framework for understanding the shape of the EU political space (the interaction between an Integration-Independence and a Left-Right dimension and the location of class and sectoral groups within this map), and tests this framework on the policy positions of the Socialist, Christian Democrat and Liberal party leaders between 1976 and 1994 (using the techniques of the ECPR Party Manifestos Group Project). -

Professionalization of Green Parties?
Professionalization of Green parties? Analyzing and explaining changes in the external political approach of the Dutch political party GroenLinks Lotte Melenhorst (0712019) Supervisor: Dr. A. S. Zaslove 5 September 2012 Abstract There is a relatively small body of research regarding the ideological and organizational changes of Green parties. What has been lacking so far is an analysis of the way Green parties present them- selves to the outside world, which is especially interesting because it can be expected to strongly influence the image of these parties. The project shows that the Dutch Green party ‘GroenLinks’ has become more professional regarding their ‘external political approach’ – regarding ideological, or- ganizational as well as strategic presentation – during their 20 years of existence. This research pro- ject challenges the core idea of the so-called ‘threshold-approach’, that major organizational changes appear when a party is getting into government. What turns out to be at least as interesting is the ‘anticipatory’ adaptations parties go through once they have formulated government participation as an important party goal. Until now, scholars have felt that Green parties are transforming, but they have not been able to point at the core of the changes that have taken place. Organizational and ideological changes have been investigated separately, whereas in the case of Green parties organi- zation and ideology are closely interrelated. In this thesis it is argued that the external political ap- proach of GroenLinks, which used to be a typical New Left Green party but that lacks governmental experience, has become more professional, due to initiatives of various within-party actors who of- ten responded to developments outside the party. -

Radiopodlasie.pl Wygenerowano w dniu 2021-09-25 10:49:22 Kto wejdzie do PE? Karol Karski, Krzysztof Jurgiel, Adam Bielan, Zbigniew Kuźmiuk, Elżbieta Kruk i Beata Mazurek(PiS), Tomasz Frankowski, Jarosław Kalinowski i Krzysztof Hetman (KE)- najprawdopodobniej wejdą do Parlamentu Europejskiego. Wszyscy kandydowali w okręgach obejmujących nasz region. Prognozy są oparte na sondażu exit-poll, co oznacza, że nazwiska kandydatów, którzy obejmą mandaty, mogą się jeszcze zmienić. Prawdopodobne nazwiska europarlamentarzystów podaje Informacyjna Agencja Radiowa. Prawo i Sprawiedliwość zdobyło najwięcej, 42,4 procent głosów, w wyborach do Parlamentu Europejskiego - wynika z sondażu exit-poll zrealizowanego przez IPSOS dla telewizji TVP, Polsat i TVN. Drugie miejsce w badaniu prowadzonym dziś przed lokalami wyborczymi zajęła Koalicja Europejska - 39,1 procent. Jeśli wyniki sondażu potwierdzą się, do Parlamentu Europejskiego dostaną się także kandydaci Wiosny - 6,6 procent oraz Konfederacji - 6,1 procent. Pięcioprocentowego prgu nie przekroczyły komitety Kukiz'15 - 4,1 procent oraz Lewica Razem - 1,3 procent. Prognozowana frekwencja wyniosła 43 procent - wynika z sondażu exit-poll. Zgodnie z sondażem, Prawo i Sprawiedliwość wygrało w siedmiu okręgach (warmińsko-mazurskie z podlaskim, Mazowsze, Łódzkie, Lubelskie, Podkarpacie, Małopolska ze Świętokrzyskiem oraz Śląsk). W sześciu okręgach wygrała Koalicja Europejska (Pomorze, kujawsko-pomorskie, Warszawa, Wielkopolska, Dolny Śląsk z Opolszczyzną oraz Lubuskie z Zachodniopomorskim). Z prognozy podziału mandatów wynika, że przy takich wynikach, jakie przyniósł sondaż exit-poll, PiS miałby w Parlamencie Europejskim 24 mandaty, Koalicja Europejska - 22 mandaty, a Wiosna i Konfederacja - po trzy mandaty. Zgodnie z sondażem, w okręgu obejmującym Pomorze dwa mandaty zdobyła Koalicja Europejska (Magdalena Adamowicz oraz najprawdopodobniej Janusz Lewandowski), a jeden Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (najprawdopodobniej Anna Fotyga). -

Bruxelles, 11 Novembre 2020 DÉCLARATION COMMUNE De
Bruxelles, 11 novembre 2020 DÉCLARATION COMMUNE de députés européens sur l'approche à deux poids deux mesures de l'UE en matière de pesticides dangereux Nous, députés du Parlement européen, appelons la Commission européenne à interdire l'exportation de pesticides qui ont été interdits dans l'Union européenne (UE) en raison de leurs effets néfastes sur la santé et l'environnement, et à cesser d'importer des denrées alimentaires produites avec ces substances dangereuses en dehors de l'UE. L'UE possède certaines des lois sur les pesticides les plus strictes au monde et a déjà interdit ou strictement limité l'utilisation de nombreux pesticides susceptibles de causer de graves dommages à la santé humaine ou à l'environnement. Cependant, les entreprises restent libres d'exporter ces produits dangereux pour une utilisation dans des pays tiers. En outre, l'UE autorise également l'importation de denrées alimentaires produits avec des pesticides interdits. Exportations de pesticides trop dangereux pour une utilisation dans l'UE En 2018, les pays de l’Union européenne ont approuvé l’exportation de 81 615 tonnes de pesticides contenant des substances dont l’utilisation est interdite dans leurs champs en raison des risques inacceptables qu’ils présentent pour la santé humaine ou l’environnement. C'est ce que dévoile une étude publiée le 10 septembre 2020. Au total, 41 pesticides interdits dans l’UE ont été annoncés à l’exportation par une trentaine de sociétés depuis 11 pays membres. La plupart des exportations sont destinées à des pays plus pauvres comme l'Afrique du Sud, l'Ukraine et le Brésil.
