Galician Coalition (Galician: Coalición Galega, CG) is a political party in Galiza with a Galician nationalist and centrist ideology. Since 2012 CG is part of the coalition Compromiso por Galicia.
CG was born as an electoral coalition for the municipal elections of 1983, formed by the Partido Galeguista (PG) and ex-members of the UCD after the disaster of the party in the 1982 elections. In A Coruña and Lugo the candidacy was called "Partido Galeguista-Converxencia de Independientes de Galicia" and in Ourense "Partido Galeguista-Centristas de Ourense". In the Province of Pontevedra the PG and the ex-members of the UCD presented separated lists.
The good results of the elections (125,000 votes) in 1984 led to coalition to transform itself into a moderate, centrist nationalist party, but maintaining a clientelist structure in rural areas of the provinces of Ourense and Lugo, inherited from the UCD.
In the elections of 1985, under the leadership of Pablo González Mariñas and with the active support of CiU, CG won 163,425 votes (13%). After the elections there were two sectors in the party: one that wanted a pact with the right (People's Alliance) and other that wanted a pact with the left (Socialists' Party of Galicia and the Galician Socialist Party-Galician Left). The sector that wanted a pact with People's Alliance (AP) was the majority, and finally CG enterd the government of Xerardo Fernández Albor.
