Commitment to Galicia
Compromiso por Galicia

Commitment to Galicia (

Galician political party with a Galician nationalist, progressive
ideology.

Ideology

CxG proposed to reform the Galician electoral law to create a single

open lists as well as a better of public transparency and promoting citizenship participation by the ILPs, the removal of the provinces
and the limitation of mandates of the elected officials.

CxG considers Galicia as a "nation in terms society and culture". Unlike other Galician nationalist organizations, CxG does not want independence or total

pro-European.[10]

History

The party was formed in December 2012, in its first National Congress. The previous organizations were partially dissolved,[11] not allowing the new organization double militancy.

The party was formed after the rupture of

Galician Nationalist Party-Galicianist Party (PNG-PG)[13] also joined the project. The historical Galician Coalition (CG) was also interested, having attended their leaders to acts of the new organización. On 21 June 2012 CxG announced the incorporation of a sector of the collective Unity of the Galician Left, a splinter group of the Socialists' Party of Galicia based mainly in Vigo
, including the Socialist ex-deputy Miguel Barros.

Encontro Irmandiño, also a split from the BNG, and led the

Anova-Nationalist Brotherhood
.

In the

centrist
and Galician nationalist political party.

In the European Parliament elections of 2014 CxG formed a coalition with Convergence and Union, the Basque Nationalist Party and Canarian Coalition, known as Coalition for Europe. In Galicia Coalition for Europe won 9,812 votes (0.96%).

In the local elections of 2015 the party presented 40 lists[18] (out of 314 municipalities in Galicia) and participated in a coalition.[19][20] CxG also supported 18 independent lists in other municipalities.[21] Finally CxG-CCTT gained 41 town councillors and the mayors of Lalín, Miño, Muros and Vilar de Santos. The election of the mayor of Miño was very polemic because the list of CxG in that municipality was the least voted in the 2015 election, but the People's Party decided to vote for the candidate of CxG to avoid the candidate of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) getting elected.[22]

In 2017 Juan Carlos Piñeiro was elected as the new secretary-general of CxG.[23]

In December 2019, the party joined the European Democratic Party.[24]
