political campaigning group first formed in 2000. It was led by Dennis Coslett
as a figurehead. A meeting took place in Flintshire on 10 January 2004 between representatives of Balchder Cymru
, Cymru 1400, Medi 16, and the RDM
. It was agreed during the meeting that all four organisations should amalgamate to form a stronger nationalist / republican movement to strengthen the struggle for an independent Welsh republic. The new movement was named 'Mudiad Rhyddhad Cymru' with the aims of campaigning for an independent Welsh republic and defending Wales, its language and culture.
Balchder Cymru
was reformed as a political pressure group in May 2006. Based mainly in North-East Wales, the group organises and attends various events throughout Wales.
In 2009 the group organised a parade through Abergele, North Wales, to mark the 40th anniversary of the deaths of the 'Abergele Martyrs', George Taylor and Alwyn Jones, who were killed on the evening of 30 June 1969, whilst attempting to place a bomb outside government offices in Abergele in protest at the investiture of Charles Windsor as Prince of Wales the following day.
Another notable event organised by Balchder Cymru is the annual Glyndwr event in Hope, Flintshire. The group also attends the Cilmeri event annually.
