history
The Greens of South Tyrol emerged from the political and social milieu of the New Left / Nuova Sinistra , the environmental movement and the South Tyrolean student body (sh.asus).
After several successful running in municipal and state elections since 1978 (around 1983 as an alternative list for the other South Tyrol ), the formal and statutory foundation of Verdi Grüne Vërc as a party did not take place until 1996. At the national level, the South Tyrolean Greens committed themselves sustainably within the Federazione dei Verdi .
For the first Country Representative (Party Chairman) of the Italian language was Bolzano Carlo Bertorelle chosen he was followed in 1998 with Leander Moroder from Ortisei a Ladin and 2006 with Franco Bernard from Meran a German-speaking South Tyrol. The young Greens were founded on March 20, 2008 (Maundy Thursday).
Since 2009 the party has been led by a dual leadership of a man and a woman: Brigitte Foppa and Sepp Kusstatscher were elected as the first team, followed in 2014 by a team consisting of Foppa and Giorgio Zanvettor .
After the state elections in 2013 , the South Tyrolean Greens appointed three members of the South Tyrolean state parliament : the journalist Riccardo Dello Sbarba , the Brixen historian Hans Heiss and the Montaner civil servant Brigitte Foppa. In the parliamentary elections in Italy in 2013 , the journalist Florian Kronbichler entered the national Chamber of Deputies via the Sinistra Ecologia Libertà list .
In the Italian parliamentary elections in 2018 , the party ran on a list connection with Liberi e Uguali (LeU), but without winning seats.
In the 2018 state elections , the Greens were able to defend their three mandates with 6.8% of the vote.
