As the first exit polls were released at the crowded offices of the Greens Party in Paris, campaigners jumped up in joy, crying and applauding over a result they had hoped for but did not expect. The left-wing coalition the New Popular Front (NPF) was projected to gain the most seats in France’s lower house of parliament, the National Assembly, after the far-right National Rally (RN) came first in the first round of the elections last week. Outside the electoral parties, onlookers honked from cars and people in the streets chanted the coalition’s name “Popular Front,” which refers back to a 19...

The last time left-wing parties joined forces to form a coalition, there was a clear leader in the figure of Jean-Luc Mélenchon. But the far-left founder of France Unbowed (LFI) has been heavily criticised over his early comments on Israel and Gaza and recent statements seen as downplaying antisemitism. This led to the dissolution of the New Ecological and Social People’s Union (Nupes) late last year, with left-wing parties running separate party lists during the June European elections. That was until President Emmanuel Macron called a snap election, prompting the parties to try to join toget...

While Ursula von der Leyen seeks support from MEPs in her bid for a second term as European Commission president, her European People’s Party does not plan to broaden a three-way centrist alliance with the Socialists & Democrats and liberal Renew group, but one way or another she might need the support of the Greens or the hard right. A senior source within the EPP told Euronews the Greens group would not be invited to join. “There won't be any formal inclusion of the Greens in the platform,” the source said, adding: “It will not happen.” This was reinforced by a spokesperson for the centre-ri...

The head of France's Green Party has called on the presidential coalition's leaders to commit to withdrawing from second-round legislative races to prevent far-right candidates from winning. In a letter addressing the presidents of four political parties in Emmanuel Macron's coalition, Marine Tondelier, national secretary of the French Ecologists party, wrote that the country's "situation called for simple and clear commitments." Her party would "do everything to beat National Rally candidates", Tondelier added. Recent polls suggest that in France's upcoming snap legislative elections on 30 Ju...

Volt, the European federalist movement that secured five MEPs in recent European elections, has voted to stay in the European Parliament’s Green grouping. The decision, taken by a poll of party members, puts an end to rumours that they might instead join Emmanuel Macron’s centrist Renew party. After EU elections held 6-9 June, parties are racing to see who can coalesce into the biggest groups – the channel by which funding and influence is distributed within the Parliament. It was clear as polls closed that the European People’s Party and socialists would constitute the two biggest coalitions ...

In this episode, we explore how Meloni is working in Brussels to secure Italy an important position of power in the future institutional setup.

German MEP Terry Reintke and Dutch lawmaker Bas Eickhout have been appointed new Greens/EFA co-presidents in the group’s constitutive meeting today. Speaking to reporters shortly after their election, they sent a message to the largest group, the centre-right wing European People’s Party (EPP), offering their services to form a stable coalition for the coming legislative term. However, they’re asking for some clarity on their position regarding the future of the Green Deal, a key priority for the Greens. “The EPP is completely divided on where to go with the Green Deal. There are very divergin...

EURONEWS: You’re joining the Greens at a time when they’ve just taken a bit of a battering, losing 18 of 71 seats. Do you see this as a worrying sign of falling public support for climate and environmental action, and the end of the Green Wave we saw in 2019, or is the doom mongering exaggerated or overblown? VS: I think it's very much exaggerated. If you look at the quality of the group, especially, we have a lot of very strong politicians, [some of them] former ministers. And I'm pretty sure that the Greens can be a valuable part of the pro-European coalition. I hope that's going to happen. ...

The Greens will not back Ursula von der Leyen in her bid for a second term as European Commission president unless they are included in a broad, centrist coalition with her conservative European People’s Party, group leaders have said while signalling they are ready to compromise on environmental goals. “We think the only way to create a stable pro-European, pro-democracy and pro-Ukraine majority is by the four parties,” said Greens/EFA group co-chair and joint candidate for the top post in the EU executive Bas Eickhout, while briefing reporters on Wednesday (12 June) ahead of a first post-ele...
