The '''ICV''' formed part of the past ruling tripartite coalition (along with the [[Socialist Party of Catalonia]] and the [[Republican Left of Catalonia]], a left-wing Catalan Nationalist Party) in the [[Generalitat of Catalonia]]. The coalition governed Catalonia from 2004-2010. ICV was given responsibility for the Ministry of the Environment in the share-out of power in the new government.

== Ideology ==
Iniciativa per Catalunya Verds called itself an "ecosocialist" party and its members were therefore "ecosocialists". This ideology is summarized in the book ''The Ecosocialist Manifesto'', co-written by a number of left-wing green politicians. This ideology looks to renew the left and is firmly against communism as practised in the former [[Soviet Union]] and against capitalism, as practised by [[Margaret Thatcher]] and [[Ronald Reagan]], but also against social democracy, which it considers as only a lesser evil that does not respond to the environmental and social challenges ahead. From an ecosocialist point of view, both communism and capitalism are two faces of the productivist "mode of production" (a Marxist term), which should be phased out if the ecological health of the planet is to survive. The manifesto also considers this ideology to be deeply feminist and in favour of the "freedom of the European peoples" (i.e. for self-determination for the [[Basque Country (historical territory)|Basque Country]], [[Galicia (Spain)|Galicia]] or [[Catalonia]]).<ref>C.
