Federación Anarquista Uruguaya

The Uruguayan Anarchist Federation, or Federación Anarquista Uruguaya (FAU) is an anarchist organisation in Uruguay, founded in 1956. The FAU was created by anarchist militants to be a specifically anarchist organisation. The FAU was the first organisation to promote the organisational concept of especifismo. The FAU has aided in the creation of several similar anarchist organisations including the Federação Anarquista Gaúcha (FAG) and Federação Anarquista Cabocla (FACA) in Uruguay, the Argentine organisation Auca (Rebel), and the Federação Anarquista do Rio de Janeiro (FARJ) in Brazil. Since 2010 it has participated in Anarkismo.net.
