History
At the 2014 National Assembly of Anova, CERNA was allocated only 3 seats in the party's National Council. The 3 elected representatives resigned,[6] and CERNA conducted an internal referendum to decide if they should leave Anova-Nationalist Brotherhood and form a separate party.[7] Finally, the organization decided to leave ANOVA, with 75% of its members supporting the split. The turnout comprised 73% of the organization's activists (201 of 276).[8][9]
