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 Cádiz 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.
