Popular Unity Party

Partido de Unidade Popular

A Portuguese political party, founded in December 1974. It was a political organization with a Maoist tendency, which came from the so-called Mendes Faction of the PCP(m-l). After the 1975 Portuguese legislative elections, it resumed its initial name of CM-LP. In 1976, with the ORPC (M-L) and the OCMLP, it merged into the Communist Party (Reconstructed) and the party was extinguished.

In the only elections he participated in, the elections for the Constituent Assembly (25 April 1975) he obtained 13,138 votes, which corresponded to 0.23%.

In 1997, its dissolution was decreed by the STF as it had ceased its activities in the seventies.
