In the IV Congress of the CUT-BAI, held in January 2014 in
Seville, the party decided to rename itself, adopting the name
Candidatura Unitaria de Trabajadores (Unitarian Candidacy of Workers). On February 12, 2015, the CUT decided to abandon
United Left because of their disagreement with the 'politicy of pacts' between this formation and
PSOE. Although they also decided not to join any other party or coalition, the CUT asked to vote for
Podemos, and participated in the lists of this party. Two candidates of the CUT were elected in the
Parliament of Andalusia, María García and Libertad Benitez. In the
2016 Spanish general election, CUT entered the Spanish
Cortes Generales for the first time, as the party vice-leader and former mayor of
El Coronil, Seville,
Diego Cañamero, was elected as a
deputy for the
Jaén district running on the
Unidos Podemos candidacy. In the
2018 Andalusian regional election, only María García ran for re-election holding her
Parliament seat of
Seville. ==References==
