Greens - Ecological Action (Weranic: Grünen - Ökologische Aktion) commonly known as the Green Party is a political party in Werania. Founded in 1977 as a reaction to the growing of anti-nuclear energy, environmental, peace, new left, and new social movements, the party first won seats in the Bundestag in 1987. The Green party is currently the third largest in Werania in terms of its votes being considered alongside the National Consolidation Party and Social Democratic Radical Party of Werania to be one of the major parties in Weranian politics. The party currently heads the provincial governments of Westbrücken and Elbenweis.
The Greens had a rapid rise in their profile in the late 1980's as the Weranian left shifted from the hegemony of industrial unionism towards more diverse movements, with the Greens considered close to the student protesters of 1972. The Greens entered government briefly under Wolfgang Löscher from 1995 to 1999 as part of the pink-red-green coalition although governance proved difficult for the party which suffered much internal disagreement on the policies it implemented. The Greens declined as a minor party in the 2000's being one of the smaller parties in the Bundestag.
During the late 2010's the Greens rose in popularity and in the 2019 federal and Euclean elections the Greens became the third largest party and have since overtaken the SRPO as the second largest party in opinion polls. The Greens rise has been attributed to a greater concern about climate change amongst the electorate, opposition to the economic policies of the establishment parties and a shift from the left to a more centrist position by the Greens with a greater focus on social issues.
