The birth of APU: political-ideological principles
The Assembly of the United People was born in June 1989 from a severe crisis in FPG, fractured into two fractions confronted within the Galician independence movement that coexist in the said FPG, the PCLN, the EGPGC (Guerrilla Army of the Free Galician People, armed organization) the Comités Anti-repressivos (Anti-repressive Committees), the JUGA (Juntas Galegas pola Amnistia) and MNG (Galician Nationalist Women).
On the 28 and 29 October 1989, the National Constituent Assembly of the APU was held in Santiago de Compostela. The assembly blamed the Communist Party of National Liberation for the split of the FPG and said that the majority of the front's membership supported them.
The APU follows the classic model of the national liberation movements in the Third World. That was reflected in the foundational political documents, that said "The revolutionary advancement as the sum of the political and military struggle", and that claims the validity of revolutionary violence to take the power, using examples like Cuba, Algeria, Vietnam or Nicaragua.
The organization aspired to the creation of a "Popular Unity" or "National Liberation Front" agglutinating the Galician worker people and the popular classes: the industrial proletariat, sailors, peasants and petty bourgeoisie", standing as the indispensable principles to integrate this front, the understanding of the armed struggle in Galicia and the fundamental role of the National Liberation process, the Total Amnesty, understood as the freedom of the galician political prisoners and the development of a political, social and economic program in accord to the interests of the popular classes. This unity for national liberation as proposed by the APU had as potential partners the other nationalist and left-wing organizations existing in Galicia at the time: BNG, PSG-EG and the FPG, but this never took place.
At the linguistic level, the APU advocated and practiced reintegracionism (defence of the Galician-Portuguese-Brazilian language unity) and used the Galician Association of Language standard.
