Communist Party of National Liberation (in Galician: Partido Comunista de Liberación Nacional) was a separatist political party in Galicia, Spain. PCLN was founded on 25 July 1986 by the 22 March Communist Collective (Colectivo Comunista 22 de marzo).[1] The collective had been launched earlier by 13 Central Committee members of the Galician People's Union (UPG) left UPG in protest of the decision of the Galician Nationalist Bloc (BNG, the coalition led by UPG) to participate in the Galician parliament. Front figures of the collective was Mariano Abalo, general secretary of UPG, and Xan Carballo, general secretary of INTG.
PCLN registered itself with the Interior Ministry on 13 February 1988.
Soon divisions surged within FPG. PCLN had certain reservations towards supporting the armed struggle of EGPGC, which Galiza Ceibe-OLN did. An extraordinary National Assembly of FPG was convened. Galiza Ceibe-OLN broke away from FPG and formed the Assembleia do Povo Unido (APU).
In the early 1990s PCLN dissolved itself into FPG, as FPG became a unitary political party.
