Communist Movement of Galicia

Communist Movement of Galicia (Galician: Movemento Comunista de Galiza, MCG) was a communist political party created in Galicia during the last years of the dictatorship of Franco as the Galician section of the Communist Movement, although in practice the MCG acted as an independent party.^[1] The leaders of the MCG were Xesús Veiga Buxán and Carmen Santos Castroviejo.^[2] Unlike other sections of Spanish left-wing political parties, the MCG was close to the Galician nationalist movement and supported self-determination and national sovereignty for Galicia.^[3]
