The party is centered around pro-nuclear environmentalism and eco-sufficiency. In its campaign for the 2024 European Parliament election, the party also supported a regulation of immigration to Europe, combined with the creation of a climate refugee status.[2] Despite some ideological similarity on environmental issues, the party claims to have no links to Jean-Marc Jancovici, although some of its candidates in the 2024 European Parliament election were members of The Shifters, the nonprofit sister association of The Shift Project, co-founded by Jancovici.[1]
The party contested the 2022 legislative election and the 2024 European Parliament election, and has been fielding 41 candidates for the 2024 legislative election, mostly in the Île-de-France region.[2]
On 12 January 2025, during the partial legislative in Isère (first circonscription), its candidate Gaëlle Offranc-Piret had collected 7.6% of the votes (~2225).[3]
2024 European Parliament elections
Équinoxe's list in the 2024 European Parliament election was headed by Marine Cholley, chosen by party members in an internal election on 21 November 2023.[4] The party scored 0.29% (73002) of votes nationwide, and did not win any seats.[5]
Équinoxe was incorrectly announced as the winner in Clermont-Ferrand, with 19.9% of the votes. This was found to have been caused by an input error, with the party actually receiving 0.4% of votes in the city.[6]
