History and evolution

The Greens–Green Group was created in 1994 when a group of people from the Spanish environmental movement decided to declare candidacy for the European Parliamentary Elections, in response to deep division within the Confederation of the Greens. Heading the list was Esteban Cabal, who had been elected city councilor in Rivas-Vaciamadrid in the municipal elections of 1991 in a coalition with the United Left and PSOE. In 2006, The Greens–Green Group promoted the Green Unity Roundtable in an attempt to bring other green parties together. But in the end, it decided to present its own candidates, rather than establish electoral alliances.Los Verdes-Grupo Verde presentarán candidatura en solitario en Burgos desligándose de la coalición IU-Los Verdes

The agreement included the creation of a "working roundtable" to produce a New Political Program. The interests of environmental, feminist, and pacifist organizations would be represented in the roundtable. In 2012, the president of the LV-GV, Esteban Cabal, declared the breakdown of the agreements between his party and the United Left, branding them as delinquents.
