The Unitarian Candidacy of Workers (Spanish: Candidatura Unitaria de Trabajadores, CUT) is a libertarian communist[1] and Andalusian nationalist[2] party in Andalusia, Spain. Founded in 1979 with the name Collective for the Unity of Workers – Andalusian Left Bloc (Colectivo de Unidad de los Trabajadores-Bloque Andaluz de Izquierdas, CUT-BAI), it forms part of the coalition United Left, which contains left-wing Spanish parties supporting the country's withdrawal from NATO. CUT current leader is Juan Manuel Sánchez Gordillo, mayor of Marinaleda, Seville.
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.[3]
