Galicia

Nacionalist Assembly of Lugo Manifesto

ABSTRACT

The Manifesto takes the form of a programmatic political document whose subject is the Galician people, addressed to the Head of the Spanish State. The document’s central demand is political, economic and financial autonomy for Galicia within the framework of a federation of Iberian nations, including Portugal.

The Manifesto is divided into seven sections structuring the political and institutional framework of the federal state of Galicia, administrative reform, the powers of the Galician government, the legal framework, the economy and cultural, artistic and land management matters. The text recognises the legal personality of parishes, which are endowed with a management and government structure; establishes an electoral system based on proportional representation; demands co-official status for Galician and Castilian Spanish; recognises gender equality; dissolves the provincial councils; establishes an autonomous tax system; delegates certain powers, such as customs and excise, to the Federal State on the basis of a bilateral agreement; and highlights the need to draft a law to harmonise buildings with traditional local styles of construction.

ABSTRACT

The Preliminary plan for the Galician Statut presented by the Seminar of Galician Studies was published on May 6th, 1931. Consisted of 7 chapters and 41 articles. It started from the base of Spain as a federal and state and Galicia as a free state in their midst, and collected Galician as the official language.

ABSTRACT

The political and ideological programme of the recently founded Partido Galeguista, proclaiming Galicia’s right to self-government and demanding a Statute of Autonomy. Among others: anti-imperialism, federalism, international federalism, pacifism.

ABSTRACT

The foundational manifesto of the Unión do Pobo Galego (UPG) setting out the party’s ideology, political objectives and original belief in the need to form a common front with other organisations.

ABSTRACT

The document summarizes in 11 points the ideological and political principles of the GSP, a political organisation that wrestles to covert Galicia into a socialist society, that is, to build a socialist society for all Galician people. We envisage a socialist society as a society without classes, totally democratic, where the real property of productive resources is the people’s creation and more of a heritage, and where political power expresses the majority’s conscious wish and guarantees freedom for everybody. In this paper highlights that Galician people have the right to political self-government, and later, to create the constituent power to formalise political institutions suitable for its self-government.

ABSTRACT

A general outline of the principles and objectives that should preside and direct, respectively, the design of a development policy for Galiza and, more specifically, the development of its productive structure, with the vision that has the Galician Council of Political Forces (CFPG).

The democratic bankruptcy happens in Galicia, on the approach of a Galician political alternative. And it is not enough to formulate it in the abstract, is needed to provide it with specific minimum content.

ABSTRACT

Excerpt from the generated document on the first congress of the Galician Workers Party (POG, Partido Obreiro Galego, in galician language). The POG defines itself as a people’s Marxist, revolutionary party who fights for democracy, the national liberation of Galicia and socialism.

ABSTRACT

This document was condensed into the Galician Nationalist Bloc's ideological, political and organisational principles. The structure and even the contents of the foundational manifest tell of the nature of the constituent process which results in the convergence of different political projects.
The manifest is made up by four parts, the first contextualizes the unitary alternative as a necessary and essential tool to achieve nationalist objectives; the second part strengthens the ideological-political principles that define the organization's main foundations, not only operationally but strategically, together with the founders' common principles, which at the same time, make up the organizational unit's sustenance; the third sets out BNG's immediate political objectives starting from the rejection of political reform started in 1975 and principally the Constitution and the autonomous framework. The last part of this document determines the basic organisational principles that will govern BNG's operation, highlighting its assembly-type character and political pluralism.
