The Popular Liberation Front (Spanish: Frente de Liberación Popular, abbreviated FLP or FELIPE) was a clandestine anti-Francoist opposition group in Spain 1958-1969.
[1] FLP emerged as a response to the difficulties of the traditional left to establish a foothold inside Spain.
FLP was inspired by the development of left socialist parties like PSU in France and PSIUP in Italy, and was influenced by New Left and Third Worldist movements.
[1] In 1969 a student and member of the FLP, Enrique Ruano Casanova, was killed by the political police while he was arrested, causing a wave of demonstrations and strikes in the universities of Spain.
Due to the protests the Regime declared the State of exception on the 24 of January 1969.
