History
Despite the attempt to gather all parties of the far-right, the "National Alliance" didn't manage to integrate into its ranks all political forces of similar sign, as the Traditionalist Communion or the Spanish Falange of the JONS didn't join the coalition, The alliance gained 86,390 votes and no seats. This failure led the main party (Fuerza Nueva) to create a new (and more successful) coalition for the general elections of 1979; National Union.
