Europe Écologie Les Verts

What Europe Écologie Les Verts does

Les Écologistes (legally Les Écologistes, association loi 1901, SIREN 333465383), formerly Europe Écologie Les Verts (EELV) and originally Les Verts (founded 1984), is a French ecological political party headquartered at 10 passage Lisa, Paris. The party is organized as a federalist structure spanning 27 regions and hundreds of local groups across France, with representation at municipal (Lyon, Tours, Île-Saint-Denis), departmental, regional, national parliamentary, Senate, and European Parliament levels. Following adoption of new statutes on 18 March 2024 and an Orientation Text on 19 April 2025, the organization operates under its current Les Écologistes identity, with Marine Tondelier serving as Secretary National.

The party's core products are political and organizational rather than commercial: a 557-measure political program developed through a participatory process with nearly 50,000 citizen contributions; an annual Journées d'été convention (Tours 2024, Strasbourg 2025, Grenoble 2026); a membership and mobilization stack including thematic commissions, a Green Academy, internal Regulation Pole, legal support device for activists, newsletter, and a digital action platform (action.lesecologistes.fr) hosted by OpenAction. There is no proprietary technology layer; digital infrastructure consists of standard CMS, social media channels (Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube, Bluesky, Mastodon), and a self-serve membership and donation platform at agir.lesecologistes.fr.

Revenue is generated through member cotisations on a sliding scale (with a dedicated grille for elected officials), donations solicited from supporters, and French public party financing mechanisms available to registered political parties. The party maintains strategic affiliation with the European Green Party (europeangreens.eu) and partnerships with La Fève for legal services to elected officials. No revenue figure is publicly disclosed in the source material. Customer-facing constituencies are French citizens, party members and supporters, elected officials, and civil society organizations engaged through the federal group network and digital channels.

Direct peers

• Génération Écologie: Smaller French ecological party founded by Brice Lalonde, competing for the same ecological voter niche and historically allied or rival to EELV depending on the electoral cycle.
• GroenLinks: Dutch left-green party affiliated with the European Greens, comparable in size, ideological orientation, and federal structure. Useful peer for coalition politics and progressive ecological platform development.
• Bündnis 90/Die Grünen: The German Green Party, the most direct comparable: a Western European ecological party of similar age, federal structure, parliamentary group presence, and affiliation with the European Green Party. Provides a benchmark for green-party scale, governance, and electoral trajectory.
• Les Républicains: French center-right party; relevant peer for understanding the structural constraints of the French party system, two-round dynamics, and the electoral arena within which Les Écologistes must compete.
• Green Party of England and Wales: UK Green Party, similar federal/conference-based structure, affiliated with European Greens, and comparable in size and parliamentary footprint. Useful peer for green-party membership models and grassroots organizing.
• Parti Socialiste (PS): Historic French center-left party that has ceded significant ecological policy space to Les Écologistes. Direct competitor for left-leaning voters and a recurring coalition partner.
• La France Insoumise (LFI): Major French left-wing party led by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, competing for the same left-of-center voter base in two-round elections and a key coalition partner/rival via the Nupes framework. Direct competitor for French ecological-progressive voters.

Emerging players

• Mouvement Écologiste Indépendant: Smaller French ecological movement, part of the broader competitive landscape for ecological voters in France and a potential coalition partner or splinter group relative to Les Écologistes.
• Europe Écologie (predecessor movement): The Europe Écologie movement that merged with Les Verts in 2010 to form EELV. Relevant as a historical predecessor/peer showing how splinter and merger dynamics shape French green politics.

Broad incumbents

• European Green Party (EGP): The pan-European federation of which Les Écologistes is the French member. Provides transnational coordination, joint campaigns, and a broader policy framework; comparable as the umbrella over the party's international activities.
