The European Green Party holds its Berlin Council between 23-25 November. This congress brings everyone together to map out our shared future.

On top of the agenda will be the vote to elect the Leading Candidates (known as spitzenkandidaten) who will represent the Green family at European level and blaze a path towards the May 2019 European elections. Alongside this, we’ll be adopting our Manifesto and launching our campaign plan.

Since its inception 25 years ago, the EU is for the first time in retreat with Brexit looming and populists attacking the values it holds at its core. We cannot sit back and watch as ardent anti-Europeans burn down the biggest peace project that’s ever existed. It’s also nearly three decades since we tore down that wall in Berlin and ushered in a new era on which the current European Union is based.

The EGP, together with the German Green co-hosts Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen, therefore wants to chart out a better course for Europe.
