The Communist Party of the Galician People (Galician: Partido Comunista do Pobo Galego, PCPG) is a Galician political organization with a communist and independentist ideology founded in 1984.
The PCPG was established in 1984, in parallel to the process of rebuilding unity of the pro-soviet Spanish communists that was happening across Spain, with the participation of various communist parties, like the Party of Communists of Catalonia or the Unified Communist Party of Spain, against the prevailing eurocommunism in the direction of the PCE and PCG. This process led to the founding of the Communist Party (PC), the predecessor of which was then Communist Party of the Peoples of Spain (PCPE).
The PCPG has participated in many elections. Its last participation was in the general elections 2008, presenting 3 candidates for the Spanish Senate in the province of Ourense, obtaining 4,243 (1.04% of the total), 3,428 (0.86%) and 3,413 votes (0.83%) respectively. The party also got 507 votes for the Congreso de los Diputados (188 in the Province of Lugo and 319 in the Province of Ourense).
In 2008 the PCPG broke with the PCPE due to their different view of the Galician national question.
