Where's the POUM?

This is really more of a chrome/history question rather than a gameplay one....but I don't see any units marked as POUM militia. Is this intentional?
(For those who don't know, the POUM was the Trotskyite, Libertarian, and anti-Stalinist communist party.....their primary base was in Catalonia, though they were everywhere.)
I realize having them in-game might be complicated; the ,POUM was liquidated after the May Days in 1937, and all POUM specific units dissolved; most were conscripted into other Republican Units, and the POUM leaders were.....dealt with.
I only got to May 1937 once vs. AI, and I don't recall there being any in-game effects of the May Days; historically, it was a very negative event for Republican Morale, as alot of the "Libertarian" leftists became disillusioned
