The Galician Socialist Party-Galician Left (PSG-EG, Partido Socialista Galego-Esquerda Galega in Galician language) was a Galician nationalist and left-wing party of Galiza.
History
It was founded in 1984 with the union of the PSG and Galician Left, led by Camilo Nogueira Román. In 1993 the PSG-EG formed with nationalist centre-left sectors a new Galician Unity coalition. In the general and autonomic elections of 1993 the party concurred with the United Left coalition, forming the Galician Unity-United Left (UG-EU) coalition. After the defeat in the elections, some members of the party converged with EU forming the Galician Left-United Left and the others joined the Galician Nationalist Bloc as Galician Unity. The party had 2 mayors: Narón (1985-1993) and Porqueira (1984-1987).
In 1993 it had 1,130 members in 67 local chapters, Vigo being the largest, with 160 members.
