Dear John,
Let me start with the good news about Sunday’s election results: We are proud to have elected MEPs across Europe, including new partner parties in Central and Eastern Europe like Croatia, Latvia, Slovenia, and Lithuania, as well as strong Green voices from Southern Europe, with the return to the EP of the Italian Greens after 15 years!
Greens came in first in Denmark and the Netherlands and remain a strong Green voice in many countries, as Sweden, Austria, Finland and Luxembourg.
Although we acknowledge the important setbacks we had in some countries, this is an important milestone for our political family and our representation in the European Parliament.
At the same time, we are extremely concerned about the rise of the far-right in many EU countries, particularly in France, Germany, and Austria.
Today, we can ensure you once again that we will work tirelessly against a far right that wants to take away our freedoms and for a Europe of equality, freedom and human rights for everyone!
But now we want to know: How do you feel about the results today:
