On 15 September 1963, this newspaper was recovered for the city, born under the initiative of the Chamber of Commerce of Pontevedra. Emilio González de Hoz was at the head of the board of directors, with Enrique Paredes as Director. This publication, however, ceased publication in September 1967 due to financial problems.
On 2 April 1968, the workers of Diario de Pontevedra, in an attempt to make the newspaper economically and commercially viable, set up an industrial production cooperative. This formula was maintained until the Diario was incorporated into ''El Progreso'' Communication Group.
The Diario de Pontevedra, once fully incorporated into the El Progreso group, under the presidency of Blanca García Montenegro, has become one of the fastest growing newspapers in Spain, manned by a group of young people, highly qualified in journalism as well as in management and marketing.
