The Federation of Young European Greens is an umbrella organization that gathers young green movements and organizations across Europe. FYEG's aim is to defend climate and social justice on the European level. Since 2007, FYEG is the European Green Party's youth wing. FYEG brings together 34 member organisations (MO), two partner organisations and three partners (GEF, CDN, GYG, Green Academy). It also holds a full membership to the European Youth Forum (EYF) which operates within the Council of Europe and European Union areas and works closely with both these bodies. == History == The Federation of Young European Greens was created in 1988. Gerard Onesta was one of the founding members. The idea of a European federation was bought up in Strasbourg in 1988 by French, Belgian, Luxemburgish and German young members from Green parties. In 2002, during a FYEG General Assembly in Belgrade, Cooperation and Development network (CDN) was founded. Its goal is to develop and support green youth organisations in Eastern and South Eastern Europe. From then on, FYEG became more political and strengthened its links with the European Green Party (EGP) and European Youth Fourm (EYF). In 2007, it became EGP's official youth wing and therefore has voting rights in EGP's organs. In 2009, FYEG launched its first internal European campaign in order to promote young candidates at the European elections. Three MEPs (among the youngest at the EP) were elected: Ska Keller, Jan Philipp Albrecht and Karima Delli. During the 2014 elections, they also promoted young candidates especially Ska Keller who became FYEG's nominee for the Green Primary. Among the candidates they promoted, Terry Reintke and Linnéa Engström and Ernest Urtasun (former FYEG co-spokesperson) were elected in 2014 as MEPs. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Federation of Young European Greens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
