Agreement of Nationalist Unity

The Agreement of Nationalist Unity (Spanish: Acuerdo de Unidad Nacionalista),[2] frequently known under the name of its constituent parties, Canarian Coalition–Canarian Nationalist Party (Spanish: Coalición Canaria–Partido Nacionalista Canario, CC–PNC), was a permanent Canarian nationalist alliance formed by Canarian Coalition (CC) and Canarian Nationalist Party (PNC) in 2006 ahead of the 2007 Canarian regional election.[3] The alliance has been renewed several times, in 2011, 2013 and 2018.[4][5][6] For the 2011 and November 2019 general elections it was joined by New Canaries (NC).[7][8] The alliance was dissolved in 2023, with the PNC arguing that the CC had now « nothing of nationalist » [9]
