Following the tradition of the Spanish left since the formation of PSUC in 1936 (as communists and socialists joined forces in Catalunya), IU doesn't have any organization of its own in Catalonia. Until 1998 the referent of IU in Catalonia was Iniciativa per Catalunya (now known as IC-V). But IC moved towards the centre^{[citation needed]}, and broke relations with IU.
