History

In 1997 a sector of United Left of Galicia, led by the General coordinator Anxo Guerreiro, decided to form a coalition with the Socialists' Party of Galicia in the 1997 Galician elections, against the decisions of the national conference. Another sector was against that decision, and run with their own lists, and with the support of the federal United Left.
Left of Galicia won two seats. The results of the leftist coalition, however, were very disappointing. Altogether the coalition only obtained 15 seats. In the 1999 local elections the party run in various municipalities, gaining 10 local councillors.
In the 2001 Galician elections EdG only gained 5,001 votes, losing both seats. The party would disappear soon after.
