History

UPC was founded in Valladolid in 1983 as Popular Unity-Revolutionary Unity, changing the name some months later. The majority of its members were young leftists and ex-members of the Communist Movement. UPC only had a stable presence in Castilla y León, specially in the provinces of Burgos, Valladolid and Segovia.

UPC had close ties to the Basque coalition Herri Batasuna.[1]

In 2002 the party merged with Izquierda Comunera, Mujeres Castellanas and the Castilian Circle of Toledo to create Castilian Left.
