European Greens–European Free Alliance

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The European Greens – European Free Alliance (The Greens - European Free Alliance; Greens - EFA; French: Le Groupe Verts - Alliance libre européenne; Les Verts - ALE, German Fraktion der Grünen/Freie Europäische Allianz) is one of the parliamentary groups in the European Parliament.

This group consists of two distinct European political parties - the European Green Party and the European Free Alliance. The EFA consists of parties representing what it describes as stateless nations. These parties are civic nationalists and regionalists, broadly of the centre and centre-left.

Before February 2004, the European Greens existed as a coalition known as the European Federation of Green Parties rather than a formal political party. Thus, the group was known as the EFGP-EFA.
