Animal Politics EU is an association of European animal protection parties .
history
The association was founded in the run-up to the 2014 European elections under the name Euro Animal 7 by seven parties. In the elections, two of the parties involved were each able to win a mandate in the European Parliament : Stefan Bernhard Eck from the German party Mensch Umwelt Tierschutz and Anja Hazekamp from the Dutch Partij voor de Dieren . Both belong to the Confederal Group of the European United Left / Nordic Green Left . Eck left the animal protection party at the end of 2014, but remained a member of the parliamentary group.
For the 2019 European elections , the alliance expanded to include four more parties and reorganized itself under the name Animal Politics EU . In the election, three member parties each won one mandate. Two of the three MPs resigned from their parties in February and June 2020, respectively.
