party profile

The Cyprus Green Party was established in February 1996. Most of its founding members have been active environmentalists and members of pressure groups or similar organisations for many years.

In May 1996, the Cyprus Green Party took part in the parliamentary elections and gained 1% of the votes. The party also succeeded in electing two more Council members, in cooperation with local pressure groups, in other local Councils. In the elections of May 2001 the Cyprus Green party succeeded in electing its first MP, Mr.George Perdikes, our Secretary General. This success was repeated in May 2006 with 1,95%.

The Cyprus Green Party is a dynamic and developing party. Despite its tender years, the Cyprus Green Party has already added a few ecological successes to its name, such as putting an end to the British military exercises in Akamas and banning advertising of cigarette products, outside schools. Some of the new challenges are the following:

• De-nuclearizing the Eastern Mediterranean region
• Declaring Akamas peninsula a National Park
• Demanding a sustainable water management policy
• Blocking the tourism policy, which promotes golf courses
• Campaigning to reduce inner city pollution levels
• GMO free Cyprus
• Protect the wetland of Akrotiri Salt Lake
• Electromagnetic waves

The Cyprus Green Party became the 30th member of the European Federation of Green Parties in March 1998.
