Alongside social democrat and socialist members, are already integrated as full-fledged members of the Group, the Greens, members of the Syriza, members of the Adeph and other progressive parties from different countries. In view to increase the visibility of its progressive profile, the Group has elected as Vice-Presidents: Mrs Yoomi Renström (Social Democrat, Sweden), Mrs Eirini Dourou (Syriza, Greece), and Mr Josef Frey (the Greens, Germany).
