History

The UJCE merged with the Federation of the Socialist Youth of Spain (FJS) to form the Juventudes Socialistas Unificadas (JSU) in 1936, following the policy lines friendly to the concept of popular front established in the 7th World Congress of the Comintern.[3]

It was formally reconstituted under the UJCE name in 1961.[4]

UJCE is a member of the World Federation of Democratic Youth.

The UJCE's main task is to work towards organizing the youth movement, engaging with working-class and student youth with the goal of emancipating the working class through socialist revolution. It aims to develop the necessary tactical steps to raise class consciousness and work towards the construction of a communist society, achieved through revolution, the dictatorship of the proletariat, and socialism.
