    The Communist Party of the Galician People (Galician: Partido Comunista do Pobo Galego, PCPG) is a Galician political organization with a communist and independentist ideology founded in 1984.

    History

    The PCPG was established in 1984, in parallel to the process of rebuilding unity of the

    Party of Communists of Catalonia or the Unified Communist Party of Spain, against the prevailing eurocommunism in the direction of the PCE and PCG. This process led to the founding of the Communist Party (PC), the predecessor of which was then Communist Party of the Peoples of Spain
    (PCPE).

    Congreso de los Diputados (188 in the Province of Lugo and 319 in the Province of Ourense
