History

FE was officially registered in December 1984,[1] and in February 1985 the party launched its programmatic manifesto. The platform called for a green, red and white alternative for Spain. In July 1985 FP held its constituent congress, and the next year the party participated in the Anti-NATO Civic Platform. In 1986 FP joined United Left,[2] leaving the coalition in 1987.[3] In 1988 the party disappeared.

Ramón Tamanes was elected MP (in the lists of the United Left coalition) in the general elections of 1986.

gollark: Oh, and TuriExtended™ bots, which have possibly transcended reality due to having useful primitives like time travel and halting problem solving.
gollark: Maybe that lets the EHQ9+ bots *summon* bottles?
gollark: Embedded HQ9+ bots, which happily blink LEDs and stuff but can't actually do useful things.
gollark: Oh, or the Golang bots, which aren't actually capable of abstract thought but can multitask a lot.
