History

Assembly for Andalusia appeared in 1984 as a proposal of the PCA to form a permanent coalition with other left-wing forces.[4] The federation was created in 1986.

In February 2015 the Unitarian Candidacy of Workers (CUT), the second most important political party of IULV-CA at the time, left IULV-CA because of their disagreement with the "policy of pacts" with the PSOE.
