Ideology & Issues
The Greens are a typical green party. Sustainable development are one of their key issues. However, topics such as an ecological tax reform, renewable energy and energy efficiency or the consolidation of pension funds play an equally and ever increasingly important role. Especially in a country such as Luxembourg, pioneer of a new melting-pot society in Europe, equal participation of migrants is of utmost importance.
Furthermore, in its declaration of principles it has outlined, among others, the following priorities:
- Human rights and solidarity
- Democracy
- Social justice
- Structural change of the economy
- Equality between men and women
- Non-violence
- A commitment to a green and social Europe.
