History

edit

Although political parties were not legalised until 1993,[1] the party contested the 1992 elections in the Canillo parish, winning three of the four seats.[2]

For the 1997 elections, it was one of several local parties to ally with the Liberal Union to run in parish constituencies.[3] The UiR won two seats as the alliance won a total of 16 of the 28 seats in the General Council,[4] and formed a government under Marc Forné Molné.
