WHO WE ARE


We are a driving force in European politics, with representation
in the European Parliament since 1984

OUR GROUP

We want to protect our climate and environment for the generations to come.
We defend a society where every person has the right to speak up.
We fight for a true democracy where the public and the media
are able to control those in power.
We want to build a Europe that reduces poverty because everybody deserves a fair chance.
We believe the economy must serve the people, not the other way around.
We believe in a society that invests in public services and creates strong communities.
We support a democratic Europe of the peoples, regions and historic small nations where the right to self-determination is respected.
We want a society with decent paying jobs and warm homes to come home to.
A society where every person should be free to be who they want without discrimination.

OUR MEPs

Our group currently includes members of Green movements, Pirate and Independent MEPs, as well as MEPs from parties representing stateless nations and disadvantaged minorities. With 71 members - 35 women and 36 men - from diverse backgrounds and from 18 countries, 4 regions and 25 parties, our group is gender-balanced and the most consistent in its voting behaviour.
