Briga (Fight or Struggle in Galician language) is a Galician independentist political organization formed by young people founded in 2004 as a split of the Assembleia da Mocidade Independentista. It is the youth wing of the political party Nós-Unidade Popular and defines itself as a socialist, antipatriarcal, ecologist, antiautoritaritarian, antimperialist and Internationalism organization. It also defendes social monolingualism and linguistic reintegrationism in Galiza. BRIGA has AGIR as its reference in student unionism.
BRIGA was created in 2004 after a rupture in the Assembleia da Mocidade Independentista (AMI) between the supporters of remaining an independent youth organization and the supporters of becoming the youth wing of Nós-Unidade Popular, which eventually left AMI.
In May 2005 3 BRIGA militants were arrested for an attempt to remove a statue of the fascist military Millán Astray in A Coruña. At the same year the organization was almost banned when they were accused of supporting violence. 5 militants of BRIGA were arrested by the Spanish police and were accused of unlawful association. They were later absolved and the organization was fully legalized. Later in the same year the police arrested again 3 militants of BRIGA that were accused of hitting a cop during a demonstration.
