The Argentine Libertarian Federation (in Spanish, Federación Libertaria Argentina, FLA) is a libertarian communist federation which operates in Argentina, out of the City of Buenos Aires, San Pedro, La Pampa Province, and Rosario. Founded in October 1935 with the name of the Anarcho-Communist Federation of Argentina (FACA, Federación Anarco-Comunista Argentina) the FLA adopted its current name in 1955. It is governed by the Declaration of Principles and the Organic Charter approved by its congress. Its structure and operation are federative and are coordinated by Local Councils and the National Council. Since 1985, the FLA has been publishing the political journal El Libertario. Prior to that, FLA published Acción Libertaria. The FLA is a member of the International of Anarchist Federations (IAF-IFA), the anarchist international which includes member organisations from Italy, Spain, Great Britain, France, Germany and other nations. History In October 1935, the Federación Libertaria Argentina was founded in La Plata as the Anarcho-Communist Federation of Argentina (, FACA) as a continuation of the Regional Committee for Anarchist Relations (, CRRA), an anarchist assembly that had met since 1932. The FACA was the first specifically anarchist organization in the country. It established its headquarters in Buenos Aires, and undertook multiple activities in various parts of the country, continuing those previously carried out by the CRRA. One of the first relevant activities it carried out was its participation in the campaign for the freedom of the Bragado Prisoners: Pascual Vuotto, Reclus de Diago and Santiago Mainini were anarchists that had been arbitrarily detained and tortured by the police during the Infamous Decade, falsely accused of having planted a bomb in the town of Bragado on August 5, 1931. Spanish Civil War Less than a year after the FLA was founded, on July 19, 1936, the Spanish social revolution took place, in the context of the Spanish Civil War launched after the failed coup by nationalist and fascist sectors of the Spanish Army on July 17. In response, different organizations and parties, both communists and anarchists, formed solidarity committees with the Spanish Republic against the military coup. The Coordinating Commission for Aid to Spain was then formed and, for its part, FACA promoted the creation of Solidaridad Internacional Antifascista (SIA) and actively participated in the Spanish Propaganda Service founded by the CNT-FAI, appointing and sending delegates from the Federation.
