At the end of 1986, the Carlist Party and the Humanist Party left the coalition; later the Progressive Federation did so too. The Communist Party of the Peoples of Spain (PCPE) merged with the PCE (Partido Comunista Espanol), and Iniciativa per Catalunya associated with the coalition but kept its full autonomy.
