History

Originally the acronym "UHP" arose spontaneously among the bases of the union groups with a different meaning, "Union Horse Power", since the different machinery with which they worked at the time was almost all of English manufacture, of which the technical identification plates that dated their capacities and their legend highlighted the horsepower they possessed. From there, the slogan "Uníos Hermanos Proletarios" arose, devised by Amador Fernández. Under the acronym UHP, the Asturian Socialist Federation, the Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT) and the Regional Labor Confederations of Asturias, León and Palencia of the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT), as well as the Workers and Peasants' Bloc and the Communist Left of Spain. In September, the Communist Party of Spain applied for membership. However, this was not allowed until it withdrew from its request everything related to anti-Trotskyism, since both the socialists and anarchists understood that unity of action was essential and that there would be no internal confrontations. The slogan was adopted by the revolutionaries in the Asturias Revolution in October
