Although inspired by the [[Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia]] and seeking to join it, in practice, the PSUPV aligned itself with the [[Socialist Party of National Liberation]] (PSAN)<ref name="palau2018"/> and had established contacts with the [[Marxist Unification Movement]] (MUM) of [[Catalonia]] by 1978.<ref name="guia1978"/> Its ideology revolved around the fight for "the unity of the national and class movement" and "the unity of communists and Marxist socialists", while acknowledging the "evident historical, linguistic, cultural, and geographical ties" with [[Catalonia]], the [[Balearic Islands]], and the rest of the [[Catalan Countries]].<ref name="guia1978" /> The party would eventually join and merge into the [[Valencian People's Unity]] (UPV) alliance in the [[1982 Spanish general election]].<ref name="palau2018"/><ref>{{cite news |last1=Muñoz |first1=Manuel |title=El nacionalista Burguera y el ex presidente Albiñana forman una coalición electoral valenciana |url=https://elpais.com/diario/1982/06/21/espana/393458415_850215.html |access-date=6 October 2024 |work=El País |date=21 June 1982}}</ref>
