Alternative Green and The Greens-Alternative Green confronted by the Vernet agreement
A dispute has arisen between two environmental groups, Alternativa Verda (Moviment Ecologista de Catalunya) and Els Verds-Alternativa Verda, due to the Vernet agreement, where it has been agreed to support the candidacy of the president in exile in the elections of May 12. While Alternativa Verda has confirmed its support for Puigdemont, The Greens-Alternativa Verda deny any link to this agreement.
Opposite positions
Alternativa Verda issued a statement affirming its support for Puigdemont, while Els Verds-Alternativa Verda rejected the Vernet agreement and criticized the manipulation of the politicians who promoted it. In addition, they have questioned the ethics of using the historical acronyms of environmental policy in Catalonia to claim the green vote.
Differences in the foundation of the parties
Alternativa Verda (Moviment Ecologista de Catalunya) claims that its party was founded in 1983, while Els Verds-Alternativa Verda was created in 2000.
Signatories of the Vernet agreement
The Vernet agreement in support of Puigdemont has been signed by several organizations, including Alternativa Verda and other political entities.
