In 1983, the Greens obtain their first seats with the Bundestag, then a parliamentary group in 1987. However, at the time of the general elections which follow the German reunification, fine 1990, they record a reverse and are not represented any more. On the other hand, “Alliance 90” ( Bündnis 90 ), an oppositional group of ex-Germany of the East of alternative tendency, obtained some seats on the quota reserved for the ex- GDR with the favor of the transitional provisions specific to this poll of the reunification. Greens and Alliance 90 decide to amalgamate in 1993, the party taking its current name then.
