Context
Galician Workers Party (in Galician: Partido Obreiro Galego) was a political party in Galicia founded in October 1977. POG was led by Camilo Nogueira and Xan López Facal. The founders of POG saw autonomy as a first step towards Galician self-rule. In the 1979 general and municipal elections POG formed part of the coalition Galician Unity (Unidade Galega). In the 1980 plebiscite on the Galician Statute, POG propagated for a blank vote. In December 1980 the party was reconstructed as Galician Left (Esquerda Galega).
