History

The party formed for the 2011 election as a merger between the Ceutan Democratic Union and the Socialist Party of the People of Ceuta. The coalition won 4,404 votes in the 2011 elections, earning 4 of the 25 seats in the Ceuta Assembly, making it the second-largest party after the People's Party. The coalition aims for the official recognition of Moroccan Arabic in Ceuta. The coalition, through its two member-parties, was endorsed with the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party until July 2013. The split came from differences of opinion over controversial comments towards women, made by a local Muslim cleric.
On 15 October 2021, the coalition announced its transformation into a platform called Ceuta Ya!.
