Frepic -Awañak
A popular front, Frepic-Awañak was constituted in
May 1986. It is a coalition of diverse organizations struggling
for the independence of the Canary Islands and recognition of
its Amazigh origins. It is structured on a foundation of popular
committees, unifying militants from the CC.CC, C.N., PRAIC, and
other organizations, under one umbrella party. It's emblem is
a black spiral (see below), surrounded by seven green stars representing
the seven major islands of the Canaries. The spiral is an indigenous
design, found in the Isle of Benahoare, representing a symbolic
union with the Canaries' precolonial past and an image that opens
dialectically toward the future. The color green for the stars
represent hope for independence.
