Ideology and tactics
In addition to claiming the independence of the Catalan Countries, Endavant has prioritized working within the social movements and in the struggles of the Catalan anticapitalist left like combating job insecurity, participated in the campaign against the European Constitution, following the referendum in February 2005, criticizing the project for its neoliberal social aspects and the lack of recognition of the Catalan national rights. Endavant has also been part of the "Network Against Closures and Precariousness", which brings together unions and leftist groups, as well as various initiatives to support workers in struggle against the 2008-2015 Spanish Crisis or in favor of the student mobilizations in defense of public education.
