Political party in Spain

Cordobese Union (Spanish: Unión Cordobesa, UCOR) was a localist political party in Córdoba created by Rafael Gómez Sánchez ahead of the 2011 local elections.

History

Rafael Gómez (better known as "Sandokán"[1]) first made public his intention to create a political party for the municipal elections of 2011 in December 2010.[2] Cordobese Union won 24,805 votes and became the second political force in the city (the People's Party was the most voted one), gaining 5 seats in the City Council.[3]

In the local elections of 2015 UCOR lost around 15,000 votes and 4 seats. Rafael Gómez resigned from the City Council. He was replaced by Rafael Carlos Serrano Haro, his nephew.[4] Rafael Gómez currently faces a trial for 11 crimes against the Public Treasury for which the Prosecutor's Office asks for 44 years in prison.[5] In February 2017 he was sentenced to 5 years in prison for one of those crimes.[6]
