FET y de las JONS
The Falange Española Tradicionalista y de las Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional Sindicalista (lit. 'Traditionalist Spanish Phalanx of the Councils of the National Syndicalist Offensive'), abbreviated FET y de las JONS and commonly known as the Falange, or the Movimiento Nacional (National Movement), was the sole legal political party of Francoist Spain from its creation in 1937 until its dissolution in 1977. The party was established by General Francisco Franco on 19 April 1937 through the Unification Decree, which forcibly merged the fascist and national syndicalist Falange Española de las JONS (FE de las JONS) with the Catholic monarchist Carlist movement.
