Defunct nationalist party in Spain
Galician Unity (Galician : Unidade Galega ; UG ) was a Galician nationalist and democratic socialist party formed by the Galician Socialist Party-Galician Left (PSG-EG) in 1991.
History
UG was founded as the successor of the PSG-EG in 1991. Despite this the PSG-EG would not fully disappear until 1993. The party presented a coalition with United Left (EU) for the Galician elections of 1993 and for the Spanish elections of the same year , failing to gain any seats in both. In fact, UG, lost the 2 MPs that the PSG-EG had in the Parliament of Galicia between 1989 and 1993. UG got 74,605 votes (4.67%) in the general elections and 44,902 votes (3.07%) in the Galician ones .
After the election failure, UG joined the BNG in 1994.[ 1] On the 20 of September 2003 UG decided to disappear as a political party and became an "opinion current" inside the BNG .
