Galician People's Front
The Galician People's Front ( gl, Frente Popular Galega) is a Galician political organization with a socialist and independentist ideology.

On 25 July 1986, the group was transformed into the Communist Party of National Liberation (PCLN). Later, the 3rd National Assembly of the BNG expelled the group because they gave support to Herri Batasuna. In 1987, PCLN and Galiza Ceibe-OLN, along with other small organizations, created the FPG.
