The Popular Unity Candidacy (Catalan: Candidatura d'Unitat Popular, CUP) is a left-wing[12][13] to far-left[14][15] pro-Catalan independence[2][16] political party active primarily in Catalonia, where it has political representation, but also in other autonomous communities in Spain it considers to be part of the Catalan Countries. The CUP traditionally has focused on municipal politics, and is made up of a series of autonomous candidatures that run in local elections. Its presence is strongest within the borders of Catalonia.

In 2012, the CUP decided for the first time to run for Catalan parliamentary elections, gaining 3 MPs out of 135. In the 2015 elections, they obtained 10 MPs.
