The Revolutionary Internationalist Action Groups (French: Groupes d'action révolutionnaires internationalistes; Spanish: Grupos de Acción Revolucionaria Internacionalista; GARI) was an anarchist and anti-Francoist terrorist[1][2] group in France in the 1970s.

History[]

GARI was founded after the execution by Spain's Francoist regime of the Spanish anarchist Salvador Puig Antich and the crackdown by the Spanish police of the Iberian Liberation Movement Movimiento Ibérico de Liberación (MIL), the outfit to which Salvador Puig Antich belonged.

Based mainly in the south of France around Toulouse, the group was formed by French and Spanish anti-fascists.[3] Several GARI members, among whom Jean-Marc Rouillan, a former member of the Iberian Liberation Movement, would later create the leftist terrorist group Action directe.[4]
