Created by Maríano Fernández, along with other 18 founding members in Barcelona, it declared itself as a party representing political rights of all Roma in Spain. As declared by its founder, the creation of the party was greatly influenced by the Evangelical Church. The Partido Nacionalista Caló (Roma Nationalistic Party, PNCA) participated in the general national elections in 2000 and in 2004, with marginal results (in 2000 PNCA received 1331 votes; in 2004 only 757). PNCA also presented some candidates in municipal elections in 2007 and 2011, without success.
