Florent Marcellesi

Equo members elected Marcellesi as Federal Co-Spokesperson of the party along Inés Sabanés in February 2020.

One of the members of the foundational committee that created Equo in 2011, in March 2014 Marcellesi won the party primaries intended to determine the leading candidate for the upcoming May 2014 European Parliament election in Spain. Thus, he ran second in the Primavera Europea coalition list after Jordi Sebastià (from Compromís). He became a member of the European Parliament on 11 October 2016, following the early renouncement of Sebastià (already agreed as part of the 2014 coalition deal between Compromís and Equo).

Involved with the French Greens since 2002, Marcellesi, based in Bilbao since 2004, later joined Berdeak-Los Verdes [es] , a Green party operating in the Basque Country, running as leading candidate of the latter's party in the 2007 Bilbao municipal election. He also promoted the "Platform for Decent Housing" as well as became a member of Desazkundea, a group advocating for degrowth positions.
