The June 9th Movement is a left-wing to far-left political party founded on June 9, 2002, in Coimbra, Lunolia, during the First Republic of Lunolia. Rooted in Marxism-Leninism, the party emerged as a response to the controversial policies of then-President Nathaniel Benson of the Alternative for Lunolia party, particularly after the passing of the Anti-Immigration Law Act (RA. 776), the No Islam Allowed Law (RA. 922), and the Citizen's Arrest Act (Art. 113). The party derives its name from the June 9th protests, which marked its founding and initial mobilization.
History
The June 9th Movement was founded in the wake of the widespread June 9, 2002, protests against President Nathaniel Benson's administration. The protests erupted in opposition to a series of discriminatory and authoritarian laws such as Anti-Immigration Law Act (RA. 776), the No Islam Allowed Law (RA. 922), and the Citizen's Arrest Act (Art. 113).
These measures, rooted in the ultranationalist and far-right ideology of Benson's AfL party, ignited fierce backlash among progressive and minority communities. The June 9th Movement united these voices into a formal political entity, advocating for social justice, equality, and resistance to far-right governance.
