 At a meeting in Flintshire on 10 January 2004 between representatives of Balchder Cymru, Cymru 1400, Medi 16, and the Red Dragon Movement, it was agreed 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" ("Wales Relief Movement") 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.
