In 2014, groups of ex-Maulets created, along with other youth organizations, the Estudiants 9N movement, which organized a student strike to support the unofficial self-determination referendum. During the referendum campaign, some local chapters of Arran (Arbúcies, for example) made posters promoting a 'Yes' vote; the leadership of Arran ordered that these posters be withdrawn. At the national assembly of that year, most members of Arran voted to expel those who had participated in the ANC. Their objection stems from the ANC's stance to fight only for the independence of Catalonia and not all of the Catalan Countries. The vote was not valid because it did not reach the 70% of necessary quorum.
