OMLE was a clandestine group along its existence owing to the pervasive activity of the Francoist police. It had its bases in a few urban pockets such as Cadiz and Vigo.[2]

History

The OMLE held its first conference in June 1973.[3] It was listed as a secret subversive group by the Francoist information services.[4]

In 1974 a sector of Organización Obreira joined the OMLE.

In October 1975 OMLE convened the founding congress of the Communist Party of Spain (Reconstituted) (PCE(r)), which together with the First of October Anti-Fascist Resistance Groups (GRAPO) acted as the continuation of OMLE.

Publications

OMLE published Bandera Roja from 1969 onwards as its central organ and Antorcha as its theoretical organ. El Gallo Rojo was published by the Andalusia Regional Committee of OMLE.[5]

The organization's directing committee issued a 9-page declaration that was published in 1974.[6]
