TheGalician Nationalist Party–Galicianist Party (Galician:Partido Nacionalista Galego–Partido Galeguista, PNG–PG) was aGalician nationalist and liberal political party, coming from a split of theGalician Coalition. The PNG–PG had 132 members in 2002 (the party had more than 500 shortly after its founding). Xosé Mosquera Casero was the last secretary general, after the VIII Congress in September 2011. The party merged withCommitment to Galicia in 2012.
Founded in January 1987 as theGalician Nationalist Party (PNG) when a sector of theGalician Coalition, led by Pablo González Mariñas and Xosé Henrique Rodríguez Peña promoted a moreprogressive andnationalist organization. The PNG was joined the same year by the smallPartido Galeguista (Nationalist), leading to the creation of the PNG–PG. In September 1987, the PNG–PG supported a motion against theGalician presidentXerardo Fernández Albor, that led to the fall of thegovernment. The party entered the newsocialist government ofFernando González Laxe taking control of twoconsellerías (autonic ministers).
In1987 and1989 participated in the elections to theEuropean Parliament together withEusko Alkartasuna and theRepublican Left of Catalonia without obtaining representation.
Due to the poor results of theelections of 1989 the PNG–PG joined theGalician Nationalist Bloc. After IX National Congress, on 18 March 2012, the party decided to leave theBNG.[2] In late March of that year the party announced that they were working on a common project of a Galician nationalist centre party, along withTerra Galega (TEGA),Alternativa Popular Galega (APG),Converxencia XXI (CXXI) and thePartido Galeguista Demócrata (PGD).[3] The project did not materialize. After that the PNG-PG joinedCompromiso por Galicia.[4]
