The party also signed the Brest Charter in 1975.

In 1977 the party merged with Eusko Sozialistak, a small socialist party critical with ETA(m), to create Herri Alderdi Sozialista Iraultzailea (HASI).

Manex Goyhenetche was the French-Basque leader of the party, that maintained a strong relationship with the Breton Democratic Union.^[2]
