Extremaduran Popular Bloc (Spanish: Bloque Popular de Extremadura, BPEx) was a communist political coalition created in Extremadura in 1981 and dissolved in 1983.
BPEx was founded as a coalition of several political parties and movements in Extremadura, mainly the Communist Movement, the Revolutionary Communist League, the ex-members of the Workers' Party and the Unified Communist Party of Spain. The coalition was also supported by many independents of the social movements, like feminists and anti-militarists. Originally, the coalition "inherited" the 37 town councillors of the organizations which composed it.
The 13 of February 1983 the coalition called for a counter-demonstration against a right-wing anti-autonomist (called Bloque Cacereño Anti-Estatuto), being heavily repressed by the Spanish police.[5] [6] [7]
In the local elections of 1983 the BPEx gained 17 town councillors.[8] Shortly after that, the coalition de facto dissolved, although in some towns, like Majadas de Tiétar (where they were governing), the coalition continued to exist as the Extremeñist Revolutionary Bloc.[9]
Ideologically they defined themselves as radical left "extremeñists revolutionaries", campaigning for an Statute of Autonomy for Extremadura.
