The Green Party (Romanian: Partidul Verde), often shortened to The Greens (Romanian: Verzii) is a Romanian political party that ideologically follows green politics and progressivism. The Green Party is the only political party in Romania that is a member of the European Green Party (EGP). Thus, it is a full rights member of the European Green Party (EGP), represented by the Greens–European Free Alliance in the European Parliament. The Green Party in Romania has one vote in EGP Council, the leading European Greens' Leadership Group, which meets twice a year. At local and central political level in Romania however, it is still a microparty just like the conservative Romanian Ecologist Party (PER).
