AMI was founded in 1993 as the youth organization of the
Assembleia do Povo Unido but continued to maintain its structure when that organization dissolved itself in 1995. AMI participated in the Spiral Process, that led to the foundation of
Nós-Unidade Popular, an organization that AMI abandoned in 2005. When AMI left
Nós-Unidade Popular the organization underwent a split of those that supported to remain in Nós-UP, which adopted the name
BRIGA. The intention of the AMI is to promote the idea of Galician independence among young people. For that it participates in the organization of social centers, leisure activities,
protests, painting murals etc. Ideologically the organization has positions close to
libertarian socialism and
communalism (which contrasts with the more orthodox
Marxism of its origins).
Feminism and "independentism" are other ideological pillars of AMI, as well as using of
reintegracionist spelling of the
Galician language. The group has also opposed to speculation, the touristification of
Galicia, to public works that damage the environment and military service (until it disappeared in 2002). AMI refuses to take part in institutional politics and elections. ==Accusations==
