Equo

Equo (also referred to as EQUO, and formerly 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".[8]

The first election it contested was the 2011 Spanish general election, obtaining 216,748 votes (0.9%), making it the 9th most supported party.[9] The party was fifth in Madrid,[10] achieving representation thanks to the Valencian coalition Compromís-Q, in which Equo participated.[11]

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.[12]
