Europe Ecology The Greens [ Øʁɔpsekɔlɔˈʒi leˈvɛʁ ] (EELV, Europe ecology the Greens ) is a French party that was created on November 13, 2010 from the merger of the Les Verts Ecological Party, founded in 1984 and the European elections European Écology, which was first started at the 2009 European election. ^[2] EELV belongs to the European Green Party and the Global Greens.
At the time of its foundation, the party had 13,000 members. ^[3]

founding [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

On the initiative of the publicist and German-French European Parliamentarians Daniel Cohn-Bendit, the European elections in France in 2009 formed the European Écology election alliance. It consisted of the Green Party Les Verts as well as other small parties and partly known environmental activists and had a surprising success with 16.3% of the votes. The Greens and the new members of Europe Ecology that did not want to join the Green Party, discussions about the establishment of a new, expanded political movement in 2010.

The new party was founded in Lyon on November 13, 2010. After a speech by the well -known environmentalist and television presenter Nicolas Hulot and other personalities, a majority voted for the new name “Europe Écology – Les Verts” (EELV). In this initial phase, however, there were also tensions between the different currents. So the party president was initially Jean-Paul Besset, who, however, did without all party offices a few weeks later. The first general secretary became Cécile Duflot, the party leader of The Greens .

Development since 2012 [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

For the 2012 presidential election, EU MP Eva Joly prevailed in a area code against the television presenter and environmentalist Nicolas Hulot. ^[4] Eva Joly only reached a good 2% of the votes in the first round of the presidential election and called in the second round to choose François Hollande. In the parliamentary election on June 17, 2012, the party won 17 seats in the National Assembly. ^[5] The UDB supporter Paul Molac supported by EELV was also chosen.

From May 2012 to March 2014, the party was in a government coalition with the Parti Social List and, with Cécile Duflot in the Ayyrault cabinet, presented the Minister of Regional Development and Living as well as Pascal Canfin a deputy minister of development aid in the Foreign Ministry. On December 7, 2012, Daniel Cohn-Bendit announced that they no longer want to work in the party or to participate in their discussions internally. However, he continues to pay contributions and remain formally members. ^[6]

In the 2014 European elections, José Bové, supported by EELV, was the top candidate of the European Green Party list together with the German Ska Keller. In France, six MPs were elected to the European Parliament for the party with around 9 percent of the votes. After the 2014 local elections, the party provided around 50 mayors in France, including Grenoble is a big city.

On August 27th and 28th, 2015, Jean-Vincent Placé, group leader of the EEELV in the Senate, and François de Rugy, deputy parliamentary group leader in the National Assembly, declared leaving the party. The background was conflicting about the EEEV that was reinforced by the two intended reorganization to the government and on the other hand, on the other hand, the election alliance sought by the party with the Front de Gauche in the regional elections. ^[7] They then founded the new party Écologistes! When the previous general secretary Emmanuelle Cosse entered the Valls II cabinet in February 2016, David Cormand was temporarily appointed for this post, later elected from a party congress for three years.

Before the 2017 presidential election, the Greens initially held a primal election to determine their candidate, which Yannick Jadot won against Michèle Rivasi. Finally, Eelv refrained from its own candidacy to support Benoît Hamon from the socialists, in whose program ecological topics also played an important role. With 6.4 percent of the votes, he only came to fifth place. The subsequent parliamentary election brought a serious defeat for the left parties, Eelv lost all their seats in the National Assembly. The 2019 European elections, on the other hand, were successful for the ecologists: they increased to 13.4 percent and 13 seats. This made them the third strongest force behind the right -wing populist racial emblems nationally and the liberal presidential party La République en Marche. In the 2020 local elections, members of EELV won the mayoral offices of large cities such as Marseille, Lyon, Strasbourg and Bordeaux. The Green Mayor was confirmed in Grenoble. In the press, this was described as a “green wave”. ^{[8] [9]}

As part of the Pôle Écologiste (ecological pole), in which EEELV is united together with various ecological parties, primaries for the appointment of a joint candidate for the presidential elections 2022 took place. In the second ballot, this won the EELV European Member Yannick Jadot narrowly against the Sandrine Rousseau, also EELV member, which is considered radical. ^[ten] In the first ballot of the presidential election, Jadot received 4.6% of the votes and thus eliminated. ^[11] For the subsequent parliamentary election in 2022, EELV was part of the left election alliance Nouvelle Union Populaire Écologique et Sociale (NUPES) together with La France Insoumise, the Socialist Party and the Communist Party of France and smaller parties of the left and ecological spectrum. The alliance won 131 seats in the National Assembly, 23 for the Pôle Écologiste, including 16 for Eelv.

As a green party, EEELV prioritizes and emphasizes environmental issues. EELV strives for a significant reduction in greenhouse gases, the Europe -wide exit from nuclear energy in favor of renewable energies and a moratorium for the use of genetically modified organisms. ^[twelfth]

EELV is clearly committed to the EU membership of France and strives for a European state in the long term. ^[13]

In the course of the yellow vest protests, Eelv advocated socially acceptable climate protection. ^[14]
