Green Party for Progress (Arabic: حزب الخضر للتقدم, French: Parti des verts pour le progrès), often abbreviated to PVP, is a Tunisian green political party.
Founded in November 2005 by Mongi Khamassi,[1] a former member of PSL,[1] they were legalised four months later as one of the nine political parties that were legalised before the Tunisian revolution.[1] The first party conference was held in December 2008.[1]
Internationally the party has been denounced as not a true green party, particularly by the French[2] and European Green parties.[3]
In the 2009 presidential election, they supported the winning candidate Ben Ali.[4] In the general election, their first contested, which was held simultaneously, they won six seats with 74,185 votes and a 1.67% vote share.[5] They won a single councillor seat in the 2018 municipal elections with 150 votes.[6]
