Greens Equo
Greens Equo (GQ) and formerly EQUO, is a Spanish political party founded on 4 June 2011, when 35 Spanish green parties agreed to merge into Equo. It began as a foundation on 24 September 2010 with the goal of becoming "the seed and source of debate about political ecology and social equity, originating a sociopolitical movement".
The first election it contested was the 2011 Spanish general election, obtaining 216,748 votes (0.9%), making it the 9th most supported party. The party was fifth in Madrid, achieving representation thanks to the Valencian coalition Compromís-Q, in which Equo participated.
At the national elections of 20 December 2015, Equo joined the list of Podemos. This resulted in seats for three Equo candidates: Juantxo López de Uralde, Rosa Martínez and Jorge Luis Bail.
In the runup to the November 2019 Spanish general election, Equo withdrew from Unidas Podemos and agreed an electoral fusion with Más País. Disagreeing with this decision and willing to stay with Unidas Podemos, Equo founder Juanxto López de Uralde left the party and founded Green Alliance.
In 2021, the party decided to change its name to Greens Equo.
In the Congress of Deputies, thanks to the agreement reached with Más País, from 2019 to 2023 it had a female deputy, Inés Sabanés. After the 2023 national elections they integrated in Sumar (electoral platform) but they didn't obtain any deputy.
Since the regional elections in 2023, in the Valencian Parliament, within the Compromís coalition, it has two representatives of its own: Juan Bordera (independent) and Paula Espinosa. In the Balearic Parliament is present with David Abril in Més and in the Madrid Assembly is represented by Alejandro Sánchez Pérez, María Pastor and Paz Serra in Más Madrid.
EQUO, like other European environmental parties, uses the terminology "co-spokespersons" for its two main political leaders, one of each sex, since one of the hallmarks of the European Green Party and EQUO is the strict maintenance of parity in its governing bodies. Thus, on June 30, 2011, in a vote open to members and supporters, Juan López de Uralde and Reyes Montiel were elected as co-spokespersons at the state level. Both were re-elected at EQUO's first congress in July 2012. The people elected in the federal executive committee were: Juan López de Uralde, Itziar Aguirre, Pepa López, Reyes Montiel, Carolina López, Alejandro Sánchez, Rafa Font, Pilar Álvarez, Neus Truyol, Carmen Tejero, Pepe Larios, Pau de Vílchez, Nacho González and Pasqual Mollà. On May 24, 2014, one day before the European elections, Reyes Montiel resigned as co-spokesperson. The party's federal executive committee elected Carolina López in her place on May 29, 2014.
