Acción Gallega (AG, Galician Action in English language) was one of the most important agrarianist, antiturnista and anti-client politics (anticaciquismo) political movements in Galicia in the 20th century. With a decidedly antiforal and redemptionist character, in its first formulation, constituted the radical sector of the Galician agrarianist in the 1910s.
The origins of AG lie in the agitated year of 1909. In that year, a group of Galician politicians, intellectuals and journalists living in Madrid met day after day. They were: Basilio Álvarez, Alfredo Vicenti, Manuel Portela Valladares, Enrique Peinador, Luís Antón del Olmet, Prudencio Canitrot, Alfonso Alcalá Martín, Ricardo Vilariño, Rafael Carvajal, Cánovas Cervantes, Eloy Páramo, etc. The topic of their discussions was the constant agrarian and antiforal struggles in Galicia; namely the liberation of the Galician peasants and, more generally, of Galicia in general. Acción Gallega was conceived as a movement in that tumultuous context. In January 15, 1910, the movement gave the first public sign of life, with the appearance of Acción Gallega, the official magazine of the movement, subtitled Biweekly Magazine and defender of regional interests. Basilio Álvarez was the main promoter of the magazine and of the movement. A part of this journalistic campaign, AG also initiated a series of meetings and actions of different nature. Agrarianist associations of Ribadeo, Riotorto, Fonsagrada, Becerreá and other municipalities joined AG.
