In the Spanish general elections of April 2019, it ran in conjunction with the Green Group and the Castilian Party-Common Land. Initially, it ran as a group of electors, then as an electoral coalition, and finally as a political party.

In total, it has participated in 25 electoral processes, fielding candidates in all 50 provinces of the country, as well as Ceuta and Melilla, in the 2016, 2019, and 2023 General Elections.

Its only elected office has been as a councilor in Mislata in the 2023 Spanish municipal elections, representing the Acord per guanyar electoral coalition, formed with Compromís and Podem.

Besides being an electoral option on the left, Zero Cuts declares itself as "a social, cultural, and political movement of solidarity in the fight against austerity measures" and actively participates in mobilizations for the constitutional protection of pensions, against gender violence, evictions, for the rights of migrant workers, associations of victims of stolen babies, giving special importance to the struggles of the working class.

Recortes Cero has promoted a Culture Forum that organizes debates among professionals and has designed a comprehensive program for the sector, which it calls #CultureIsWealth. Furthermore, prominent figures in the world of culture such as Juan José Millás, Luis Eduardo Aute, José Sacristán, and Antonio Resines have supported different social and political initiatives, which it has made public through manifestos.

Following the 2023 Spanish general elections, having failed to reach or exceed 1.00% of the votes in all constituencies for both the Congress of Deputies and the Senate, the RC coalition is completely inactive and practically dissolved.
