Ideology

According to its statutes, the fundamental purpose of VerdsEquo is to promote a project of sustainable society based on political ecology, social equity and participatory democracy, assuming as their own the goals and objectives of federal Equo. VerdsEquo will also support the recovery and development of the cultural, linguistic and social personality of the Valencian Country.[2]

History

VerdsEquo was created in 2014 as a result of the merger of two previous political parties: The Greens - Ecologist Left of the Valencian Country (EV-EE) and the Valencian federation of Equo (Equo PV).[3]

In 2015 and 2019, VerdsEquo had two deputies in the Valencian Parliament, Juan Ponce and Cristina Rodríguez Armigen, that were elected as part of the Compromís coalition in the 2015 Valencian elections.

In 2023, VerdsEquo had two deputies in the Valencian Parliament, Juan Bordera (as independent) and Paula Espinosa, that were elected as part of the Compromís coalition in the 2023 Valencian elections.

The current spokespersons of the party are Natxo Serra Frontela and Cristina Rodríguez.
