Since the mid sixties the Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia (PSUC, after its Catalan initials) was able to promote and lead a broad movement to end the dictatorship, not only in the industrial area of the Great Barcelona, but also beyond. Their willingness to galvanize the protest movements in rural areas —where, due to the action of the social movements, to a large extent impelled by Communists, they found more and more spaces to express their disaffection— led them to make a considerable effort to extend their influence far beyond from where they were already hegemonic. Work towards the peasantry, workers in small industries or construction workers, which had been mere rhetoric until then, began to focus the debates and actions of the PSUC in the countryside.
