European Greens want to hear citizens

Two Germans, a Frenchman and an Italian will try to move on to the second round.

For the first time in history, the Parliament will elect the President of the European Commission. The Greens consider that it is time to listen to the citizens.

"Our main goal is not to compete, but to mobilize supporters and citizens to understand that Europe's policy can change direction and improve. Many people don't think this way because his ideas are not taken into account. One possibility that we want to give back to the citizens, "says Monica Frassoni, the Federazione dei Verdi.

The vote kicked off this Sunday and extends until the end of January. During this period the potential candidates will participate in debates and online dating with citizens of different European countries.

Euronews: "The die is cast and about 200 thousand supporters and supporters of the Greens, across Europe, will be able to choose the Party's nominee by the end of January. But more than a gesture for democracy this process is an attempt to reduce the distance between the European institutions and the citizens. "
