Frente de Estudiantes Sindicalistas

The Frente de Estudiantes Sindicalistas (FES) (English: Front of Syndicalist Students) was a Spanish student group belonging to the Falangist minority opposition to the Francoist regime.

Founded in 1963 in Madrid,[1] the FES was led by Jorge Perales, Sigfredo Hillers and José Real.[2] Initially operating as the student arm of the Frente Nacional de Trabajadores (FNT; "National Front of Workers"), its mottos were Falange sí, Movimiento no ("Yes to Falange, No to Movement"); Falange sí, dictadura no ("Yes to Falange, no to dictatorship") and Por la reconstrucción de Falange ("For the re-building of Falange").[1] It eventually developed intense conflict with its matrix organization, the FNT, led by Narciso Perales,[3] that transformed into the Revolutionary Syndicalist Front.[2]

The FES was the seed of Falange Española Independiente (FEI).[4]

José María Aznar,[5] and Juan Diego[6] were members of the organization.
