The First of October Anti-Fascist Resistance Groups ((スペイン語:Grupos de Resistencia Antifascista Primero de Octubre, GRAPO)) is a Spanish clandestine Maoist group aiming for the formation of a Spanish Republican state, based on the model of the People's Republic of China under Mao Zedong. Besides its anticapitalism, it is anti-imperialist, being strongly opposed to Spain's NATO membership.〔Alessandro Seregni, ''El Anti-Americanismo Español''〕 To date, the latest violent action inflicted by GRAPO dates from 2006. After having been fairly active in the late 1970s and early 1980s, currently the dwindling number of its militants, lack of any social support and police action has allowed Spanish officials to claim a number of times to have disbanded the GRAPO after the few remaining militants of the band were captured. According to the Spanish police, GRAPO was disbanded after six of its militants were arrested in June 2007〔(Desarticulado el último 'comando' operativo de los GRAPO con la detención de seis personas en Barcelona · ELPAÍS.com )〕 but, formally, the group has not announced its dissolution. GRAPO is included in the European Union list of terrorist persons and organisations.〔''(Posición Común 2004/309/PESC del Consejo ), de 2 de abril de 2004, por la que se actualiza la Posición Común 2001/931/PESC sobre la aplicación de medidas específicas de lucha contra el terrorismo y se deroga la Posición Común 2003/906/PESC.- Diario Oficial n° L 099 de 03/04/2004 p. 0061 - 0064.''〕 ==History== GRAPO has its origins in the Organisation of Marxist–Leninists of Spain (OMLE), which dissolved itself in its first congress in 1975. At the beginning of 1976, two months after General Francisco Franco’s death, during the Spanish transition to democracy from dictatorship, the Communist Party of Spain (Reconstituted) (PCE-r) began a struggle against the political reforms. The PCE(r) restructured itself into different commissions; one of these was a “front against fascism”, founded by Juan Carlos Delgado de Codex, which became the GRAPO.〔Junta de Castilla y Leon. ''El FRAP y el GRAPO en España''〕 This newly-born movement was named after the killing of four Spanish policemen on October 1, 1975, the first violent action of the PCE(r). The "Antifascist Resistance Groups October First" (GRAPO) took this date as a starting point as a terrorist organization. Only two months later, after five PCE(r) supporters were killed by the Spanish police during demonstrations in Vitoria-Gasteiz, the PCE(r) told its sympathizers to take up arms and create the nucleus of a future Spanish “Red Army” which would be directed by a central command. A number of explosive devices were detonated in different locations in Spain on July 18, 1976 and GRAPO claimed responsibility for the coordinated explosions in the press, becoming well-known overnight.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Los GRAPO, terroristas germinados en los años 60 - españa - elmundo.es )〕 After the high-profile kidnapping of wealthy politician Antonio María de Oriol y Urquijo in 1976 and general Villaescusa in 1977, as well as the killing of more Spanish policemen, GRAPO became established as a terrorist group, in a similar manner as Revolutionary Antifascist Patriotic Front (FRAP) had been in Francoist Spain. Even though GRAPO increased its activity from 1979 onwards, it didn’t reach any of its goals and the sympathy the group had in left-wing circles waned during the 1980s. The transitional democratic regime was not destabilized and GRAPO didn’t appear to the Spanish public as a "heroic" communist group.〔 In 1984 the Spanish authorities issued an anti-terrorist law inspired by the Italian model which facilitated the operations of the police against GRAPO and many arrests followed. GRAPO reacted simplifying its structure while “waiting for better times”. It continued its clandestine activities at a lower level by means of mobile militants, which easily formed and easily split up, becoming difficult to detect. As years passed by police intervention allowed serious blows to GRAPO's structure. Currently the group is basically inactive, yet not formally self-dissolved.〔(Terrorist Profile - GRAPO )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「First of October Anti-Fascist Resistance Groups」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
