Greens (South Tyrol)
The Greens (Verdi–Grüne–Vërc) are a green and regionalist political party (with eco-socialist and self-proclaimed social-democratic tendencies) active in South Tyrol, northern Italy. Once the provincial section of the Federation of the Greens, the party is now autonomous and often forms different alliances at the country-level, but both joined Green Europe, a coalition of green parties for the 2019 European Parliament election, and the Greens and Left Alliance, a coalition with Italian Left for the 2022 general election.
