The Galician Democratic Candidacy (Galician: Candidatura Democrática Galega) was a centre-left, autonomist and galicianist electoral list in Galicia, contesting the 1977 Spanish Senate election in the constituencies of La Coruña, Orense and Pontevedra and the 1979 Spanish Senate election in Pontevedra.
Composition
[edit]The coalition brought together various personalities from the galicianist center-left and received the support of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), which only ran alone in the province of Lugo, where there was no CDG list[1]. In 1977 CDG was supported by the PSOE, Communist Party of Galicia (PCG), Galician Socialist Party (PSG), Galician People's Party (PPG) and the Communist Movement of Galicia (MCG).
In the 1979 elections the coalition was dissolved, but the independent Pontevedra senator Valentín Paz Andrade ran a list of independents with the same name in his district[2].
