They claimed to be "defending the values of human dignity, freedom, justice and solidarity". Their main goal was to raise minimum pensions to the national minimum wage. Other goals were promoting transparency in the public sector, preventing corruption and cronyism, securing free health and education for ordinary people, non-discrimination on the grounds of age, race, religion and gender and separating political power from economic power. In 2019, the party tried to run in a coalition with the People's Monarchist Party under the denomination #EstamosJuntos, this coalition was ultimately rejected by the Portuguese Constitutional Court.Portugal Rádio e Televisão de 2021-12-22 Tribunal Constitucional rejeita coligação de PPM e PURP https://www.rtp.pt/noticias/politica/tribunal-constitucional-rejeita-coligacao-de-ppm-e-purp_n1372169 2025-12-09 Tribunal Constitucional rejeita coligação de PPM e PURP pt The party changed its name and logo in 2024, in order to contest the June European Parliament election with Joana Amaral Dias as the party's candidate, but Amaral Dias decided to run with the support of the National Democratic Alternative (ADN) and (A)TUA dropped out from the EP elections.https://www.noticiasaominuto.com/politica/2543595/purp-e-agora-atua-fundador-acusa-amaral-dias-de-traicao-e-complo "Traição".
