Movemento pola Base (English: Movement for the Grassroots, MpB) is a Galician pro-independence and leftist political organization. The MpB was born in the summer of 2006 from a group of militants of the Galician Nationalist Bloc (BNG), critical with the political line of the organization at the time.
The participation of the BNG in a government with the Galician Socialist Party (PSdG) in the Xunta de Galicia created a critical current in the nationalist front. Some members of the BNG felt that the political line and tha actions of the party deviated from the historical principles of the organization. The same happened in the youth of the BNG, Galiza Nova, where Isca! appeared as a critical organization.
In 2006 finally several militants of the Galician People's Union decided to leave that party to create a new organization within the BNG, under the name of Movemento pola Base (MpB). They were joined by independent militants of the BNG (not attached to any internal group or party) militants and members off the Confederación Intersindical Galega in the comarcas of Ferrolterra, Compostela and Vigo, among them Antolín Alcántara, Fermín Paz, [Manuel Mera and Ramiro Oubiña, who were part of the executive of the CIG.
