Progressive Federation

Political party

Progressive Federation (in Spanish: Federación Progresista; FP) was a socialist, ecologist and pacifist political party in Spain. It was created in 1984 by a group led by Ramón Tamanes that split from the Communist Party of Spain (PCE).

History

FE was officially registered in December 1984,[1] and in February 1985 the party launched its 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] The party dissolved by 1988.

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