 The Popular Action sought to unite the right-wing, monarchist and Catholic camp and thus became the core of a conservative federation of parties, the Spanish Confederation of Autonomous Right-wing Groups (CEDA), established in 1933.Even after the formation of CEDA the party's youth movement, "Juventudes de Acción Popular" (commonly known as the Greenshirts) continued to organise.However, in the spring of 1936, the decline of Popular Action was underlined when 15,000 Greenshirts left the movement to join FE de las JONS instead.
