The National Union of Independents (French: Union Nationale des Indépendents, UND) was a conservative political party in Monaco led by Joseph Simon.
History[edit]
The UND was established following a financial scandal in 1955 when the Societe Monégasque de Banque was bankrupted, holding a significant amount of government funds.[1] It won 11 of the 18 seats in the National Council in the 1958 elections. In 1962 it merged with the National Democratic Entente to form the National Democratic Union,[1] which won 17 seats in the 1963 elections.
Ideology[edit]
A conservative party, the UND called for constitutional reforms, an expansion of political rights and government accountability.[1]
