History

Its origin is in the Ben Común initiative, which brought together people of Galician nationalist left, and people inspired by the demands of the 15-M. Ecogaleguistas maintains close relations with Initiative for Catalonia Greens, Alternatiba, Iniciativa del Poble Valencià and IniciativaVerds.

Between May and September 2012 the party was one of the founding formations of Compromiso por Galicia (CxG), but after failing to reach an agreement and coalition between CxG [3] and Anova-Nationalist Brotherhood, Espazo Ecosocialista decided to leave CxG and integrated in the Galician Left Alternative coalition, created by Anova-Nationalist Brotherhood, United Left and Equo.
