Ahead of the 2004 Spanish general election, L'Entesa explored a coalition with the Valencian Nationalist Bloc (Bloc),[5][6] which was ultimately rejected by the later.[7][8] Subsequently, EV/LV announced its withdrawal from the alliance in order to run in coalition with the PSOE,[9][10] whereas EV choose not to renew their alliance with EUPV for the 2004 general election.[11] As a result, the alliance was reduced to EUPV. It was later joined for the 2004 European Parliament election by the platform of regional LV MP Carles Arnal, who would go on to form The Greens–Ecologist Left of the Valencian Country (EV–EE) in response to LV's alliance with the PSOE for both the general and European Parliament elections.[12][13][14][15]
