Between 1935 and 1939, when the party was banned, eventually vanishing, it is difficult to distinguish between the history of ERPV and EV. After obtaining the election of Vicent Marco in 1936 in Valencia as part of the Frente Popular (Popular Front) list, ERC and EV formed a joint parliamentary group in the Spanish Congress under the name of Esquerra Catalana (Catalan Left). However, the Spanish Civil War halted various political projects in which EV had participated, the most important of which was a proposal for a Valencian statute of autonomy, under the official name of País Valencià "Valencian Community". During the civil war, EV's membership peaked at around 10,000 members in 1937.[1]
