Equo (also spelled EQUO, or eQuo) is a Spanish political party founded on 8th and 9th October 2011. It began as a foundation on 24th September 2010 having as a goal becoming "the seed and source of debate about political ecology and social equity, originating a sociopolitical movement"[5]. On 4th June 2011, 35 different Spanish green parties decided to merge into Equo, making it a historical date for Spanish green politics, an ideology that had always been divided into many parties in Spain (most of them weak and working at a very local level).
The first election it was presented was the Spanish general election, 2011, obtaning 215,776 votes (making it the 9th most supported party[6], and the fifth in Madrid[7]), but no representation.
