Geneva Greens pocket second seat in State Council elections
The Green Party of Geneva won a second seat in last Sunday's State Council elections, resulting in a red-green majority (the State Council is the government of the Republic and Canton of Geneva). The incumbent Robert Cramer (Green) called the result "fantastic" and said that it confirmed the good result of the recent Great Council elections, where the Greens won 5 additional seats to become the third biggest party in Geneva's parliament (the right had won a majority). Both Robert Cramer and the newly elected David Hiller are considered pragmatic non-polemic personalities.

Swiss Greens International back again
This is the resurrected provisio-permanent Web site of swissgreens.org, the official home of the inofficial international section of the Green Party of Switzerland. There were some minor "issues" with the previous host service, and therefore I chose a blog format for the brand new site. This fits nicely, I think, with the overall supposed property of this site: a collection of political news reports that may be of interest to ecologically minded Swiss abroad.
Anyway, we're back now. There's more to come soon on this space, so check back frequently (I know that's only a lame excuse for having nothing new to say, really. But there will be some cool stuff here soon. Hopefully.).
There you go.
