UP seeks independence for the Canary Islands and building a socialist society. The party defends a leading paper of the working class in the process of achieving its goals.
History
UP was formed by former members of other left-wingCanarian nationalist political parties. Unidad del Pueblo supported Alternativa Popular Canaria (APC) from 2002 to 2005, when political differences between the two organizations arise. UP gained a town councillor in the 1999 and 2003 local elections in Santa Lucía de Tirajana.[3]
