In the 2014 European elections, Miranda stood on the list of The Peoples Decide alliance. The alliance won a single seat which it was decided to allocate on a rotative basis to Ana Miranda and Josu Juaristi. The latter candidate, a member of EH Bildu, held the seat first. Miranda took over the seat in February 2018, joining the parliamentary group of the Greens/European Free Alliance in March.[1]

In the 2019 election the Galician nationalists were allied with the electoral coalition Ahora Repúblicas, which included ERC, EH Bildu and some other minor nationalist parties as well. The coalition obtained 3 seats, which will be held rotatively, with Ana Miranda set to hold a seat for the last 3.5 years of the Parliament.

She replaced Pernando Barrena in September 2022.[3]
