The Falange Española Tradicionalista y de las Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional Sindicalista (lit. 'Traditionalist Spanish Phalanx of the Councils of the National Syndicalist Offensive'), shortened to FET y de las JONS, just "FET", and the Falange, and alternatively referred to as the Movimiento Nacional, was the sole legal party of the Francoist regime in Spain. It was created by General Francisco Franco in 1937 as a merger of the fascist and national syndicalist Falange Española de las JONS (FE de las JONS) with the monarchist Carlist movement. In addition to the resemblance of names, the party formally retained most of the platform of FE de las JONS (26 out of 27 points) and a similar inner structure. The membership in the party was automatic for all civil servants and officers of the regime, however, the significance of such membership was often purely nominal.
