TheRepublican Social Movement (Spanish:Movimiento Social Republicano,MSR) was afar-rightpolitical party inSpain. It was registered at the Ministry of Interior on November 30, 1999, with offices inBarcelona. The following year it merged with Vértice Social Español to form what it called a "Social Patriotic Force".
By its members' own admission, as well as by that of the bulk of the far-right public opinion,[3] the MSR was roughly inscribed in what is usually called theThird Position, and adheres to the commonplace strategy of defending socializing (and at timesleftist) doctrines abroad, whereas adopting conservative and anti-immigration stances at a domestic level.[citation needed] Its slogan was 'Spain-Republic-Socialization'.
In the VII National Congress all the participants decided to terminate the movement's experience. MSR dissolved itself with an official announcement 30 of January 2018.[4]
The party has campaigned againstimmigration into Spain,Turkish membership of theEuropean Union and global capitalism. They support a large programme of re-nationalisation of industries such as electricity and transport. In terms of foreign policies the party takes a strongly pro-Palestinian approach to theMiddle East question, criticisingIsrael alleging that the "Zionist army are committing daily crimes against the Palestinian people." In addition to supporting the Venezuelan government ofHugo Chavez, they have also called for the withdrawal of Spanish troops in the Balkans and condemned the American ledinvasion of Iraq. In the2000 General Election the party supported the platform ofEspaña 2000.
