Movimiento Falangista de España (Spanish for "Falangist Movement of Spain",MFE) is a Spanish political party registered in 1979. The party considers itself heir of classic (previous to 1936/1937)Falangism, openly rejectingFrancoism,[2] originating from a split of the Círculos Doctrinarios José Antonio, led by Antonio Jareño. Currently the party only has activity inCantabria.
The organization was formed in 1979, by several Falangist dissident organizations, especially former members of the Círculos Doctrinarios José Antonio (José Antonio Doctrine Circles) and someSpanish Independent Falange members. In thegeneral elections of 1982 MFE gained 8,976 votes. In 1983 a section of the Youth Front joined the party. Since then the party has always achieved very poor election results, with some exceptions. The most notable of those exceptions isSantoña (Cantabria), where the party had 1 town councillor from 1999 to 2015, even participating in local governments with thePeople's Party and theRegionalist Party of Cantabria.[3] The party finally lost its councillor in thelocal elections of 2015.[4]
In 2006, the headquarters of the party were destroyed by anETA bomb.[5]
