The Greens (French: Les Verts, IPA: [le vɛʁ]; VEC or LV) was a centre-left to left-wing green-ecologist^[1] political party in France. The Greens had been in existence since 1984, but their spiritual roots could be traced as far back as René Dumont's candidacy for the presidency in 1974. On 13 November 2010, The Greens merged with Europe Ecology to become Europe Ecology – The Greens.^[2]
