Abstract
In 1980, The Federal Party of the Greens accepted the Basic Programme which has remained the principal Green ideological document up to 2002. Its opening statement reads:
We are the alternative to the traditional parties. We grew out of a coalition of alternative groups and parties. We feel solidarity with all those who have become active in the new democratic movement: the life and nature groups, the environmental protection groups, the citizen initiative organisations, the workers’ movement, the Christian initiative organisations, the movements for peace, human rights, women’s rights, and Third World rights. We consider ourselves a part of the Green movement which is rising up throughout the world.1
