He also noted that he took over the presidency of the movement in the fall of 2020 and led the election campaign for the May 2021 Parliament.
Mr. Theopemptou also referred to the need for training of executives, noting that the European Greens have shown interest in some such training programs, while the Greek Greens have also shown interest in co-organizing.
