Political organisation created in the summer of 1975 to coordinate the various groups that had emerged around ETA: ETA PM, ETA M, EHAS, LAIA, LAB LAK. On 18 August 1976, these groupings agreed to organise themselves by making the following agreements and signing the founding manifesto which is reproduced in the images in the gallery. The trade union bodies LAB and LAK joined as consultative bodies, with a voice but no vote. ETA M did not sign the agreement, but expressed its intention to actively promote the coordinating body. LAIA split into two branches, bai and ez, depending on whether or not it accepted the agreement, with the second branch abandoning it. A month before the first post-Franco elections, in May 1977, the second abandonment took place: ETA PM. This happened when Euskadiko Ezkerra was formed for the elections and this branch of ETA supported the new coalition. On 24 October 1977, when the Alsasua Table - the immediate predecessor of Herri Batasuna - was set up, the pro-independence parties that made it up adopted the five points of the KAS as their programme with the aim of achieving a free, reunified, socialist and Basque-speaking Euskadi in the future. Since the 1979 general elections, the weight of the coalition has been shifted to HB, which has become interchangeable in the eyes of the general public. It has a feminist group, Mujeres KAS (KAS Women) and a youth group, Jarrai.
