Génération Écologie) is, together with the Greens ("Les Verts"), the
Independent Ecological Movement andCitizenship, Action, Participation for the 21st Century ("CAP21"), one of the four "green" parties inFrance . Founded byBrice Lalonde in1990 , upon the suggestion ofFrançois Mitterrand , it describes itself as a club with cross-party alliances of green-minded politicians and public servants.The party, in alliance with The Greens obtained about 14% of the vote in the
French regional elections, 1992 ; but the 1993 legislative election was disappointing for the Green-GE alliance, as it failed to win any seats and won only 7% (other ecologist parties brought the score up to 11%), when polls had given them up to 16%.Noël Mamère was the movement's vice-president from1992 to1994 , when he was excluded from the party and founded the Ecology-Solidarity Convergence, which later joined The Greens. Unlike manygreen parties , which are traditionally associated with theleft-wing , Génération Écologie presents itself as acentre-right ecologist party, despite its early allegiance with the Socialist Party. Nicknamed 'The Blues,' after the traditional colour of conservatism, it has been associated with the conservativeUMP since2002 , although the links between the two parties grew more tenuous after theFrench regional elections, 2004 .Génération Écologie has cooperated since the
2004 elections with several other movements that share its priorities. It has worked alongside various organisations, most prominently the Federalist Party, the Centre of Handicapped Democrats, and the Vanquish Unemployment Association.France Gamerre replaced
Brice Lalonde as leader and she aimed to run in theFrench presidential election, 2007 . Like her predecessor, she failed to win the 500 endorsements.External links
