The symbol of the party is a stylized archer.[5]
The Green Front does not declare itself to be of right-wing nor left-wing: it declares to be inspired "by a spiritual conception of life".The party is in favor of direct democracy, anti-nuclear, anti-capitalist, anti-globalization and the self-determination of the peoples.[6]
At the 2008 general election, the party presented its symbol, declaring to run without allying with other parties.[7][better source needed] However, the party's president invited his electors to vote the For the Common Good electoral list,[8][better source needed] led by Stefano Montanari and former senator Fernando Rossi. The list got 0.3% of the vote.[9]
At the 2009 European election, the party stipulated an agreement with the Liberal Democrats of Daniela Melchiorre,[10][better source needed] but the list obtained a mere 0.2% of the vote.[11]
In March 2009, the National Assembly held in Rome changed the party's name into "Green Front – Independent Ecologists" and re-elected unanimously Vincenzo Galizia as National President.[12]
In the 2013 Lazio regional election, the Green Front supported Storace's candidacy for the presidency of the region.[13] The party got 0.07% of the votes, while Storace was defeated by the centre-left candidate Zingaretti.[14]
At the 2014 European election, the Green Front supported the candidates of the Northern League.[15]
In the 2019 European election, the Green Front supported two candidates of the leftist Green Europe list (Giuliana Farinaro and Elvira Maria Vernengo).[16] After the newspaper Il Foglio reported that Green Europe was supported by a party led by a former far-right politician,[3] Giuseppe Civati suspended his election campaign.[17][18][19]
