The Federación de Mocedades Galeguistas (FMG, Galicianist Youth Federation or Galician Nationalist Youth Federation in English language) was the youth organization of the Partido Galeguista, which was formed in January 1934, bringing together the different local nationalist youth organizations that had been formed since 1932. It had around 1,000 members, its official organ was the Guieiro (Guide in English language), and their leaders were Xaime Illa Couto, Celso Emilio Ferreiro, Xosé Velo and Ramón Piñeiro López.
Within the FMG, advocacy of Galician independence had much more acceptance that in the Partido Galeguista (PG) itself, and thus in their III Assembly (May 1936) 331 members voted to adopt "independentism" as their official ideology while 439 voted against the proposal.
The local Mocedades Galeguistas were linked to the local party groups of the PG, but barely maintained contact with each other. It was Xaime Illa Couto, the secretary general of the Mocedade Galeguista of Vigo, the first person that appealed to create a Union of the Mocedades Galeguistas. His writing appeared in September 1933 and was published in A Nosa Terra. The appeal soon received support the rest of the Mocedades Galeguistas spread across the country. The formal constitution coincided with the III Assembly of the PG in Ourense, on January 13, 1934.
