National Front (Spain, 1986)
The National Front ({{langx, es, Frente Nacional) was a far-right political party in Spain. The National Front was founded and directed by Blas Piñar as a successor to the Fuerza Nueva. It was created in 1986 with the economic support of other groups of the European far right such as the French Front National and the Italian Social Movement with the objective of increasing their sphere of influence in the European Parliament. In 1987 the National Front did not obtain the 70,000 votes (0.63%) required for representation. A drawn-out debacle ensued that intensified because of the 59,964 votes it obtained at the following elections. Many of the party members, moved by their contempt for the gerontocracy at the head of the party, joined with the Juntas Españolas, the ''Unión Patriótica'', and the ''Círculo Español de Amigos de Europa'' ( CEDADE), a neo-Nazi group. In order to slow the decline of its membership, the National Front created the "Youth of the National Front" (''Ju ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Far-right Political Parties In Spain
Far-right politics, often termed right-wing extremism, encompasses a range of ideologies that are marked by ultraconservatism, authoritarianism, ultranationalism, and nativism.

Far-right ideologies have historically included fascism, Nazism, and Falangism, while contemporary manifestations also incorporate neo-fascism, neo-Nazism, white supremacy, and various other movements characterized by chauvinism, xenophobia, and theocratic or reactionary beliefs. Key to the far-right worldview is the notion of societal purity, often invoking ideas of a homogeneous "national" or "ethnic" community.
