Stop Putin, stop the Rosatom nuclear power plant
|
Our co-chair, Thomas Waitz was in Hungary to visit the Hungarian Greens LMP. At the construction site of the planned Rosatom nuclear power plant in Paks, he met with Parliamentary Group Leader Dr. Keresztes László Lóránt. They voiced their unwavering support to the people of Ukraine in their fight against President Putin’s aggression and reiterated the need for the EU to guarantee its energy independence from Russian raw materials and fossil fuels. In the current circumstances, building new energy infrastructure reliant on state owned Russian companies and loans from banks under EU sanctions is unacceptable. Together with the Hungarian Greens, the European Greens are proud
advocates of expanding renewable energy production capacities in Europe.

Maidan: The people of Ukraine’s fight for freedom and democracy
|
Last month, we featured the documentary film 'Maidan' (2014) and held a debate on the people of Ukraine's struggle for freedom and democracy. It chronicles the civil uprising against the regime of President Yanukovych, which took place in Kyiv in the winter of 2013-2014. The film follows the progress of the revolution: from peaceful rallies, half a million strong, in Maidan Square, to bloody street battles between protestors and riot police. The film is a portrait of an awakening nation rediscovering its identity. Director Sergei Loznitsa rises above current political issues and looks at the nature of the
popular uprising as a social, cultural and philosophical phenomenon. Read the debate highlights now on our website.

Stop mega-polluters profiting from blocking climate action
|
The Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) is an international trade deal that allows energy companies like Shell, Uniper and RWE to use a shady arbitration court to sue governments for compensation when climate policies get in the way of their profits. This means private companies can threaten or block climate policy while raking in billions of euros – at the expense of citizens and the planet. The Greens/EFA in the European Parliament are demanding an exit from the Energy Charter Treaty. Support our call and sign the petition.
