The party contested the 2003 Valencian regional and 2004 Spanish general elections in alliance with the Valencian Nationalist Bloc (Bloc), but failed to gain any seat. EV–IPV subsequently merged with The Greens branch in the Valencian Community (EV/LV) and Alternative Left of Buñol (IAB) to form The Greens of the Valencian Country (EVPV) in November 2004.[7]
