The People's Unity Assembly (Catalan: Assemblea d'Unitat Popular, AUP) was an independentist organization and movement active between 1993 and 1996. The AUP was created by the Movement for Defence of the Land-IDP Faction (MDT-IDP), militants of La Crida, different local political organizations and independents. The AUP was close to the Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC). The AUP had the support of the mayors of Arbúcies and Sant Pere de Ribes.

History

The AUP was very active during its existence. The organization made campaigns against the Spanish Constitution and in favor of independence. In 1995 the AUP supported, and went along, with the MDT-IDP in the municipal elections of that year, but at the same time the organizations was very close to thesis of ERC. In January 1996 a number of members of the AUP joined ERC and the organization was dissolved. The opponents to that decision founded the Platform for the Unity of Action (PUA).
