Liberális és zöld frakciók az Európai Parlamentben
The Liberal and The Green Political Groups in The European Parliament

Summary/Abstract: The author reviews the situation of the green and liberal fractions in the European Parliament. He writes about the two political group’s brief history, their ideological commitments, their statements and reactions on EU policy matters, and about their 2004 election manifestos. He tries to compare the two groups on an ideological base, and to place them in the left - right ideological dimension alongside with the EPP and ESP. He comes to the conclusion that the green and liberal fractions are both mixed groups of european parties, with different ideologies. These alliances might strengthen the groups in the EP, but will inevitably confuse voters.
