The CUP asserts that the Catalan Alliance is a "tool" of Spain "to try to dynamite the independence movement."

The secretary general of the CUP, Non Casadevall, has asserted that the Catalan Alliance "is a tool used by Spain to try to dynamite the independence movement," just as Ciudadanos was in its day. He concluded that "it is not a pro-independence force" and that "it merely talks about immigration."
