Equo (also spelled Q, or eQuo) is a Spanish political party founded on 4 June 2011, when 35 different 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".[10]
The first election it contested was the Spanish general election, 2011, obtaining 216,748 votes (0.9%), making it the 9th most supported party.[11] The party was fifth in Madrid,[12] achieving representation thanks to the Valencian coalition Compromís-Q, in which EQUO participated.[13]
In Catalonia, the European Green Party is represented by the Initiative for Catalonia Greens.
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.[14]
