Hi John!

As we face a multitude of crises in Europe, sometimes it seems difficult to
stay optimistic. But there are many reasons to maintain our hope and
struggle for a more just and sustainable future!

Like the great success of PROGRESĪVIE, our Latvian member party that
celebrated a great election result last weekend.

Or the historic moment when Greens from all over Europe were celebrating
the first EUROPRIDE [6] in southeast Europe with the LGBTI community.

Or the strength and courage of the women in IRAN who are protesting for
equal rights.

All this give us hope to continue our fight for a greener Europe!

Your EGP team!

ITALY: BITTER SWEET ELECTION RESULTS FOR EUROPE VERDE

That the post-fascist Fratelli d'Italia received the most votes in the
Italian general election is extremely worrying for Italy and for Europe. On
the brighter side of the elections, the Italian Greens will be represented
in the parliament for the first time since 2006. They will keep up the
fight against the far-right in favour of Green, democratic and European
values.

EUROPE, STOP PAYING FOR PUSHBACKS!

If you flee from war or persecution, you have the right to request asylum
in the European Union. However tens of thousands asylum seekers have been
brutally pushed back at Europe's borders in the past years. Sometimes even
with the help of Europe's border agency Frontex. This has to stop. No EU
money should fund these extreme human rights violations at our borders.
