The Green Party (Czech: Strana zelených, lit. 'Party of Greens') is a green political party in the Czech Republic.
History
The Green party was founded in 1990 following the return to liberal democracy in Czechia following the Velvet Revolution. However, the party remained on the political margins until Jaromír Štětina was able to capture a seat in the Senate (upper house of the Parliament of the Czech Republic) in 2004. It was during this time that the Greens campaigned on pacificism (rejecting the idea that any foreign military power should have military bases in the Czech Republic) and greater incorporation of grassroots democracy in the country.
Under new leader Marin Bursík, the Greens adopted a more pragmatic approach to politics and in the subsequent 2006 legislative election the party received 6.3% of the vote and won six seats in the lower house – the Chamber of Deputies. This resulted in the party taking part in the governing coalition, together with the Civic Democrats (ODS) and KDU–ČSL from January 2007 to March 2009 (for more details see Mirek Topolánek's Second Cabinet). During their stint in government, the Greens promoted pro-European policies such as supporting the Lisbon Treaty. They also suggested that European based defence alliance could be an alternative option to Czech membership of NATO. However, following the installation of a new American radar system in the Czech Republic there were tensions within the party over foreign policy. The party was also a supporter of minority rights, immigrants rights and gender rights.
The Green Party was unable to repeat its success in 2010 elections, losing all seats in both chambers.
In the party's 2022 leadership election the incumbent co-leaders, Magdalena Davis and Michal Berg, were elected for another term.
In the party's 2024 November leadership election, Gabriela Svárovská and Matěj Pomahač, were elected.
