History

The AUP was very active during its existence. The organisation made campaigns against the Spanish Constitution and in favor of independence. In 1995 the AUP supported, and went along, with the MDT-IDP in the municipal elections of that year, but at the same time the organisations was very close to thesis of ERC. In January 1996 a number of members of the AUP joined ERC and the organisation was dissolved. The opponents to that decision founded the Platform for the Unity of Action.
