Galician Left (EG, Esquerda Galega in Galician language) was a Galician nationalist and leftist political party of Galicia.
It was founded in December 1980 as a refoundation of the Galician Workers Party, integrating the majority of the members of the self-dissolved Galician Workers Party and members of the BN-PG, Galician Socialist Party, Communist Party of Galicia and the Communist Movement of Galicia. The party celebrated its First Congress[1] in March 1981, accepting the constitutional framework and the autonomous institutions as a valid framework to achieve the self-determination of Galicia.
In the Galician elections of 1981 EG obtained 33,497 votes (3.32%)[2] and a seat for its leader, Camilo Nogueira, who achieved great prominence in the Galician Parliament, although the party suffered a sharp setback in the 1982 general elections with only 22,310 votes (1.72%).
In 1984 the party merged with the Galician Socialist Party to create the Galician Socialist Party-Galician Left (PSG-EG).[3]
