General Union of Neighbourhood Associations of Macau

The General Union of Neighbourhood Associations of Macau (Chinese: 澳門街坊會聯合總會; Portuguese: União Geral das Associações dos Moradores de Macau), sometimes shortened to the GUNA or the Neighbourhood Union (Chinese: 街坊總會 or 街總), is a pro-Beijing political party in Macau that is represented in the Legislative Assembly.

Key Information

History

[edit]

The General Union of Neighbourhood Associations of Macau (GUNA) was formed on 30 December 1983 with a call for unity among Macanese following social changes brought by the Chinese Government's reform policies. The GUNA provided services ranging from child to elderly care as well as education and basic community services.[2] It was regarded as part of the traditional faction within the pro-Beijing camp.

The GUNA was officially registered on 2 June 1984. It first fielded candidates in 1988 legislative election and won.[2] Electoral alliances were then formed with other pro-Beijing parties under the name of the Progress Promotion Union which has fielded candidates since the 1992 legislative election.[3]

The GUNA is one of the three major pro-Beijing organizations which have dominated politics in Macau since the 1999 handover; the other two are the Macau Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Macau Federation of Trade Unions.[4]
