A Green comeback in Greece? The Ecologist Greens in the 2007 parliamentary election.

The article discusses the history of green political organizations in Greece, focusing on the implications that the Ecological Greens may have for environmental politics in the nation. Numerous challenges have faced green parties seeking to affect change through parliamentary representation. One example of such a party was the Prasini Politiki, a member of the European Federation of Green Parties which was involved in environmental activism. In 2002 Prasini Politiki, along with other environmental groups and individual activists, came together to found the Ecological Greens. In 2007, Greek Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis called for an early election, in which the Ecological Greens were able to establish a strong electoral presence.
