History

AR was formed by Spanish Republican Democratic Action, a faction of Republican Left and the Catalan Left-wing Republican Party. The founding congress was held in Vallecas on May 25 and 26, 2013.[2] In its Statutes AR is ideologically defined as left-wing, democratic, republican, radical, secular, federalist and environmentalist.[3]

In the municipal elections of 2015 AR gained 2 local councillors, Pedro Gómez in Segorbe (Valencian Community)[4][5] and Gabriel Salguero Lafuente in Montgat (Catalonia).[6]
