The Galician People's Assembly (APG; Asemblea Popular Galega, in Galician language) was a political organization founded on October 10, 1976 by a splinter group of the Galician National-Popular Assembly. The APG considered AN-PG to close to the Galician People's Union.[1] Its leaders were Xan López Facal, César Portela, Carlos Vázquez and Mario López Rico. The organization held its first congress in December 1976. The APG supported the Galician Socialist Party, a splinter of the agrarian union Comisións Labregas, called Comisións Labregas Terra and the Comités de Traballadores Galegos. The APG participated in the launching of the magazine Teima (1976-1977). The APG ceased to exist on December 4, 1977; that same year part of his membership helped to found the Galician Workers Party (POG).
