[citation needed] The party was created in 2004 by the reactivation of the previous Partido Galeguista, the majority of which had been integrated into the Galician Coalition in 1984.

The same year the party merged with Democracia Progresista Galega-Progresistas Vigueses.

Its leader was the former mayor of Vigo Manoel Soto and its president Xavier González.

Between September 2005 and June 2006 Identidade Galega (IDEGA), a splinter party of National Democracy whose political action was based on opposition to immigration, was integrated in the PG.
