History:
The very first group was created in Erandio (Bilbao, Spain) on the 27th September, 1903. It was set up by Tomás Meabe and inspired by the former socialist youth organization, namely, the Socialist Young Guards of Belgium. Nevertheless, the constitution of the National Federation of Spanish Socialist Youth was adopted at the Congress of Bilbao held between 14th and 16th April, 1906. In 1908, the II Federal Congress laid down the ideological basis of the organization, showing a concern for education, and permitted the creation of female groups in the Youth Organizations. Between 1908 and 1919, the organization extended across the Spanish territory. In 1939, the Socialist Youth of Spain merged with the Communist Youth Union of Spain into the Unified Socialist Youth, whose secretary-general was Santiago Carrillo. Upon the Civil War, there were attempts to reestablish the organization abroad. The congress held in Toulouse in April 1945 gave rise to the establishment of a single Federation of the Unified Socialist Youth based in the French city. After General Franco's dictatorship, the Spanish Socialist Youth was legalized on the 19th February, 1977.
