Green Europe

History

Initially the Federation of the Greens found an agreement with Italy in Common of Federico Pizzarotti to form a list for the 2019 European Parliament election; however, in March, Pizzarotti decided to abandon the alliance with the Greens to make an agreement with More Europe.[5] Subsequently the Greens made an agreement with Possible of Beatrice Brignone, that submitted the alliance to an internal vote among its members.

After that an article by Il Foglio reported that two candidates on the list (Giuliana Farinaro and Elvira Maria Vernengo) had received support from the Green Front (led by Vincenzo Galizia, former leader of the youth section of the Tricolour Flame), Giuseppe Civati withdrew (informally) his candidacy and suspended his election campaign.[6]

In the EP election the list received 2.29% of the votes, thus not exceeding the 4% threshold of the italian electoral law. Civati was the most voted candidate on the list with 12,247 preferences.[7]

The alliance is composed of the following parties:

Party Main ideology Leader
Federation of the Greens (FdV) Green politics Angelo Bonelli

gollark: Besides, the fact that governments are crazy and not ethical doesn't mean that all other behavior is somehow justified.
gollark: I have only seen small bits of the article.
gollark: Yes... regardless of actual legal requirements, it's at least more *ethical* to allow people access to the data *about them*.
