European Greens ask Jill Stein to stand down and endorse Kamala Harris
Source: The Guardian
A coalition of European Greens have urged the US Green partys nominee, Jill Stein, to pull out of next weeks election and endorse Kamala Harris to stop Donald Trump from becoming president.
Green parties in 16 European countries from Portugal to Ukraine distanced themselves from their US counterparts in a statement on Friday, and called for Stein to withdraw from the race.
We are clear that Kamala Harris is the only candidate who can block Donald Trump and his anti-democratic, authoritarian policies from the White House, they wrote.
The signatories include Green parties from several countries in which they govern as part of coalitions, such as Germany, Ireland, Belgium and Spain. The parties said there was no link between the Greens in Europe and the US.

The European Greens also say that the US Greens are no longer part of the international organization, because of their "relationship with parties with authoritarian leaders."
