History
Party was founded in 2009. In 2009 parliamentary election PUPI ran independently and won 2.4% of the votes, just below the 3% electoral threshold.[1] At the 2012 parliamentary election the party participated within a left-wing "Together" coalition, along with Yugoslav Communist Party of Montenegro, which won only 0,38% of votes. Shortly after the election the party joined the coalition with the populist Democratic Front alliance,[2] which it leaves after the 2016 election, at which the party again failed to win a parliamentary status.
In July 2020, PUPI decided to enter the big tent Peace is Our Nation (initially the Citizens' Bloc) coalition with Democratic Montenegro, DEMOS and the New Left in order to participate at the forthcoming August 2020 parliamentary election.[3]
