The new Together for Catalonia was formed by the merger of the National Call for the Republic (CNxR),[18][19][20] the Action for the Republic (AxR),[21][22] The Greens–Green Alternative (EV–AV) and splinter elements from the PDeCAT[23][24] such as Independence Rally (RI.cat),[25] but it also aims at the eventual incorporation of members from the Democrats of Catalonia (DC) and the Popular Unity Candidacy (CUP) parties.[26][27] The party is to co-exist with the old Together for Catalonia alliance as a result of the Puigdemont–PDeCAT clash over the trademark's property rights, with those of the party having been taken over by the former but the latter still retaining the rights over the electoral coalition and the public funding.[28][29]
