Venezuelan People's Union
The Venezuelan Popular Union (Unión Popular Venezolana, UPV) was a political party in Venezuela. The UPV was built along 'Browderist' pattern.[1] UPV had its roots in the Municipal Union (UM), which had been legalized in 1941 and had functioned as a legal cover for the underground Communist Party of Venezuela.[2] The party was founded on March 13, 1944, through the merger of the Municipal Union of the Federal District, the Zulian Unification League and eleven state-level 'People's Unions'.[2][3] The decision to form UPV as a political party was taken at the Fourth National Conference of the Communist Party of Venezuela.[4]
The UPV was legalized on March 16, 1944.[3] Rodolfo Quintero was the chairman of UPV.[5]
UPV formed an alliance with the followers of Isaías Medina Angarita ahead of the 1944 Caracas municipal elections.[6] The alliance won the election.[6]
UPV was disbanded as the Communist Party was legalized on October 9, 1945.[7]
