The Vanuatu Grin Konfederesen ( English Green Confederation , French Confédération des Verts Vanuatu , Confédération verte; Vanuatu Green Confederation ) is a Green Party in Vanuatu . It is a member of the world association Global Greens , but not yet a full member.
history
The party was founded in July 1990 by Père Gérard Leymang for the Namaki Aute party and for Silas Yatan Rouard , general secretary of the John Frum movement . The initiative came from Gilles Manguilio Daniel . The Greens entered parliament in 2000 with the four MPs Paul Telekluk , Vincent Boulekone , Iarris Naunun and Song Keasipae . The movement advocates a program to promote sustainable development , respect for the environment, local customs ( kastom ), social solidarity, free economic law and the right to autonomy of the six provinces of the country.
The party recruited Moana Carcasses for fundraising. Carcasses won important supporters for this movement and was subsequently also the Kasnavouri (Treasurer of the Federal State).
Even if the party emerged from popular movements, the Namangi-Aute and John Frum movements , and later also the Tombouri of Amos Andeng in Ambrym , it was able to "present credible candidates at the local level and at the same time develop a national profile." In the meantime, however, the candidate of the Namangi Aute movement, Paul Telekluk, has left the grins in order to regain autonomy for his own movement after Moana Carcasses unilaterally decided to label every traditional party as "green", which lost its historical identity . Carcasses made this decision to meet the Greens main sponsor requirements for the 2004 election. After the death of Gérard Leymang, Amos Andeng became president of the party. In the wake of the 2004 election and the conflicts between Moana Carcasses, then MP of Port Vila , with the Conseil Exécutif Confédéral (Confederal Executive Council), and after the expulsion of Gilles Daniel , Silas Yatan , Secretary General of the Executive Commission, the full power of the party leadership passed to Moana Carcasses, who was sole party leader for three months. Then Moana Carcasses had herself confirmed under the title "President" and referred to himself as President (of the party) in order to "facilitate decision-making and negotiation with donors."
The party won three seats in parliament for the first time in 2004. In 2008 only two MPs were able to enter parliament: Moana Carcasses Kalosil, as MP from Port Vila, and Toara Daniel Kalo . Campaign themes were: compulsory and free education up to college, free treatment in hospitals and health awareness campaigns, increasing the budget and competencies of the provincial governments, recognizing and promoting the constitutional authority of chiefs in all decisions relating to property, taxation from land speculation, clear separation of the police forces from the paramilitary units, strengthening of the chiefs with the competence to support the local police forces, financing of loans through the national bank for farmers and cooperatives, with an interest rate that should be limited to around 5% , Promotion of sustainable energies (wind, hydropower, solar energy, but also the use of coconut oil), Introduction of a standard audit system for sustainability for all major projects.
Although the party has only won a few seats so far, it has been integrated into various governments because the parliament as a whole is very fragmented. Moana Carcasses was foreign minister from 2003 to 2004 (under Edward Natapei ), finance minister from 2004 to 2005 (under Serge Vohor and Ham Lini ), and minister of interior and labor since December 2009 (again under Edward Natapei). As Minister of Labor, Carcasses called for young people to be encouraged to work in the local agricultural sector and subsistence farming, rather than firing them to the city of Port Vila looking for non-existent jobs.
In 2009, the Grins put Vincent Boulekone up as a presidential candidate. With the support of the opposition, he even achieved second place.
In 2010, Silas Yatan left the party in opposition to Carcasses decisions. In 2012, before the elections, Carcasses called an extraordinary party congress of the provinces, at which the Comité Exécutif Confédéral was renewed and the structure of the collective decision-making. He was appointed by the Comité Exécutif Confédéral as President of the Commission Exécutive Confédérale and entrusted with the management. Ian Wilson became the new Kasnavouri. This brought about a return to the old structures and immediately after the elections, Silas Yatan founded the Alliance des modérés de Tafea for the province of Tafea and had it accepted into the party immediately in exchange for a promise by Moana to restore the original structures.
When Sato Kilman, Prime Minister since March 23, 2013, was forced to resign due to a parliamentary vote of no confidence, Carcasses was elected Prime Minister with a large majority of 34 out of 52 votes. He was the first prime minister of an ecological party and the first of the prime ministers not to be born and naturalized in Vanuatu.
Silas Yatan became Minister of Justice for two months and then Parliamentary State Secretary to the Prime Minister, Justice Minister Illimarak Tokemau from the Verts des Iles Shepperds movement . Former Deputy Justice Minister Toara Daniel received the Ministry of Commerce.
The leader of Santo , Arnold Prasad , became Vice President of Parliament. In May 2014, Carcasses lost his post again and became head of the opposition.
