It is composed of the Socialist People's Party (SNP), United Montenegro (UCG) and Workers' Party (RP), as well as some independents.

Dissolution

Alliance eventually dissoluted prior the parliamentary election in August 2020, all three parties decided to join a pre-election coalition with right-wing Democratic Front (DF) alliance, employing an more significant cultural and socially conservative discourse, supporting 2019-2020 Clerical protests in Montenegro and Serbian Orthodox Church rights in Montenegro.[3]

In July 2020 United Montenegro (UCG), Workers' Party (RP) and Independent group in the parliament agreed to form a new cultural conservative political alliance under the name Popular Movement, continuing its activity within the joint coalition with Democratic Front (DF), Socialist People's Party (SNP) and the True Montenegro (PCG). During July 2020, Popular Movement was joined by another minor right-wing parties, such as Democratic Party of Unity (DSJ) and Democratic Serb Party (DSS).[4][5]
