In the 2000 and 2004 parliamentary elections, CHA won 0.4% of the vote and one seat for José Antonio Labordeta, a folk singer in the Zaragoza constituency. It lost the seat in 2008 after Labordeta retired from the congress. In the 2011 election, it regained the seat as part of an electoral alliance with United Left.

Chunta Aragonesista was a member of the European Free Alliance and the European coalition, Europe of the Peoples until 2018.

José Luis Soro has been the president since February 2012.

In 2005, the party campaigned against the ratification of the European Constitution.

    Rendering the party's name has created some confusions due to the similarity with the Spanish word junta. The right translation of Aragonese chunta is unión in Spanish and union in English. This is clearly explained in the party regulations and, during the first years, both names in Spanish and Aragonese were used together as Unión Aragonesista/Chunta Aragonesista with the acronym UA/CHA. The word Aragonesista, too, presents problems. A more literally accurate (if less common) translation is "Aragonist," i.e. pro-Aragon, not just from Aragon (aragonés).
