Green Party politics from the inside

Lauri Lavanti sitting on a stool leaning against a tall table. He is wearing a black blazer and a blue-and-white floral shirt. In the blazer pocket is a multicoloured pocket square. A staircase in the background.

The Green Party of Finland (Vihreät) shapes its political direction through its party congress, party programme, and the positions taken by its representatives at local and national level. I write about these choices as a Green councillor in Kirkkonummi — someone who makes them at the practical level.

Green politics is not a set of fixed positions. It evolves through internal debate, new information, and the trade-offs of real decision-making. Sharing these choices and views openly matters.
