Coalició Compromís (Catalan pronunciation: [koalisiˈo kompɾoˈmis]; English: Commitment Coalition) is a Valencianist political party, originally an electoral coalition, in Valencia, Spain. The parties involved include the Valencian Nationalist Bloc, the left-wing Valencian People's Initiative, and a group of environmentalist (Verds Equo) and independent parties. Together they defend Valencianist, progressive and ecological politics.
Compromís was founded in January 2010 to participate in the 2011 elections to the Valencian parliament, and the 2011 local elections.
During the 2015 election year, Compromís has significantly increased its representation in many institutions. At present it has 722 councillors all over the Valencian Country, 19 parliamentary representatives in the Valencian parliament (Corts Valencianes), 1 representative in the Spanish Congress of Deputies, 1 in the Spanish Senate and 1 in the European parliament. It also has 6 representatives in the Deputation of Valencia (València), 2 in Castellón (Castelló), 3 in Alicante (Alacant) and 84 mayor's offices, among them, the city of Valencia.
History
In the 2011 elections to the Valencian parliament Compromís won 7% of the votes and 6 of the 99 seats.
In the 2011 elections to the Spanish parliament, standing as Compromís-Q (they ran in coalition with Equo, in the three Valencian provinces) it won 0.5% of the national vote and 1 MP in Congress (Joan Baldoví), nearing 5% of the total vote in the Valencian Country.
In the elections to the European Parliament of 2014 got 1 seat in Primavera Europea coalition with other parties (such as Chunta Aragonesista or EQUO)
In the 2015 Valencian elections, Compromís was the third most voted party, after the People's Party (PP) and the Valencian Socialists (PSPV).
For the 2015 central elections, Compromís formed a Coalition with Podemos, called Compromís-Podem-És el moment. This new coalition was the second most voted political force in the Valencian Country, surpassing the PSPV.
After the 2015 elections, Compromís has been divided into two parliamentary groups due to internal disagreements about the creation of separate groups for the distinct coalitions with Podemos which were vetoed by PSOE, PP and Citizens (C's).
