La Forja - Jovent Revolucionari (The Forge - Revolutionary Youth) is a

Popular Unity Candidacy–Constituent Call (CUP-CC)[2] coalition and has very close ties with the political party Poble Lliure.[3]

History

Creation of Arran and split

Before 2012, the left-wing Catalan independence movement had two youth organizations:

Catalan National Assembly (ANC), the National Assembly of Pro-Independence Youth (ANJI). Due to this, they were threatened with expulsion from Arran.[5]

In 2014, groups of ex-Maulets created, along with other youth organizations, the Estudiants 9N movement, which organized a

ANC. Their objection stems from the ANC's stance to fight only for the independence of Catalonia and not all of the Catalan Countries. The vote was not valid[clarification needed] because it did not reach the 70% of necessary quorum.[6]

This vote caused a split in

Castelló de la Plana, Badalona, Cerdanyola del Vallès and Girona[7]

Creation of the Youth Assemblies for Popular Unity

On 28 December 2015, the Assemblies of the

ecologism as the main ideological lines of the organization. AJUP also considered the CUP as its "political reference".[9]

Foundation of La Forja

In the second National Congress of AJUP, held on 3 and 4 February 2018 in

Catalan National Assembly. La Forja is also very close to Poble Lliure and the Intersindical-CSC trade union.[11]

On 10 April 2018, two members of La Forja were arrested by the Mossos d'Esquadra in an operation against the CDRs, both being released the next day.[12] Another 3 members of the organization are being investigated, accused of "damages and coercion", by the Spanish Justice since October 2018.[13] La Forja has denounced these cases as part of a repressive strategy against the Catalan independence movement.[14][15][16]
