The Partido Ecologista "os Verdes" (PEV) [pɐɾ'tidu ekulu'ʒiʃtɐ uʒ 'veɾdɨʃ] is a green political party from Portugal .

history

It was founded in 1982 and since then has always competed in elections together with the Partido Comunista Português as CDU ( Coligação Democrática Unitária ).

The green movement was initially a citizens' initiative and called itself Movimento Ecologista Português - "Os Verdes" . This happened at the same time as the establishment of other green parties in Europe. So far, their policy has been largely limited to the municipal level and the areas of responsibility of the youth organization Ecolojovem - "Os Verdes" , as only two members of parliament are represented.

In 1993 the PEV was one of the founders of the European Green Party .

The PEV has two members in the Assembleia da República , the Portuguese parliament (as of 2019).
