History

Alianza Verde was born from the people who stayed at Unidas Podemos after Equo left this space to join Más País in 2019, along with others from environmental social organizations. Although the initial intention was to launch this new party shortly after, that is, in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced it to be paralyzed. It was presented on June 10, 2021 in Madrid by its federal coordinator, Juan López de Uralde, deputy and president of the Ecological Transition Commission in the Congress of Deputies, by the Andalusian coordinator Carmen Molina, former deputy of the Parliament of Andalusia, and by the coordinator of the País Valencià, the former Secretary of the Environment of the Generalitat Valenciana, Julià Álvaro. Along with them, the Executive Committee of Alianza Verde is made up, on an equal basis, by Carmen Tejero, a historical activist from Confederation of the Greens; Fernando Rodrigo, former president of ISTAS at CCOO; and by Beatriz del Hoyo, its communication manager.

The first elections in which they will participate will be the regional elections of Andalusia, scheduled for the end of 2022, as part of Unidas Podemos.[2][3]
