Unity and Renewal (Catalan: Unitat i Renovació) was a local political party in Canillo, Andorra.
In the Andorran parliamentary election, 1992 UiR ran a joint list with Union, Common Sense and Progress (Unió, Seny i Progres). It was the only list to run in the Canillo parochial circumscription (at that time there was no national circumscription), and the list won all four parliamentary seats (UiR 3 and USiP 1).
In the Andorran parliamentary election, 1997 UiR contested the parochial circumscription of Canillo on a joint list with the Liberal Party of Andorra (PLA). The list got 231 votes. As no other list was in the fray, the list automatically won both seats.
UiR lost the 1999 local elections in Canillo.
Famous quotes containing the words unity and, unity and/or renewal:
“Hearing, seeing and understanding each other, humanity from one end of the earth to the other now lives simultaneously, omnipresent like a god thanks to its own creative ability. And, thanks to its victory over space and time, it would now be splendidly united for all time, if it were not confused again and again by that fatal delusion which causes humankind to keep on destroying this grandiose unity and to destroy itself with the same resources which gave it power over the elements.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“From cradle to grave this problem of running order through chaos, direction through space, discipline through freedom, unity through multiplicity, has always been, and must always be, the task of education, as it is the moral of religion, philosophy, science, art, politics and economy; but a boy’s will is his life, and he dies when it is broken, as the colt dies in harness, taking a new nature in becoming tame.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“We sing the funeral, as goes the custom, with the hymn of the Dead. But Manuel, he chose a hymn for the living: the song of the coumbite, the song of the earth, of the water, the plants, of fellowship between peasants because he wanted, as I now understand it, that his death for you be the renewal of life.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
