The Federación Anarquista Ibérica (Iberian Anarchist Federation) was an organisation of Anarchist militants active within the CNT. It was founded to help keep the CNT true to its anarchist aims and ideals. Members of the FAI were at the forefront of the fight against Franco's forces during the Spanish civil war.
