 | | The only nationalist party of any electoral significance, the Bloque Nacionalista Galego or BNG, it's a conglomerate of left-wing and radical left wing (national-socialist) individuals, that advocate total independence from Spain. | | | Franco's regime also suppressed any official promotion of the Galician language, although its everyday use was never proscribed. | | | From 1990 to 2005, the region's government and parliament, the Xunta de Galicia was presided over by the Partido Popular ('People's Party', Spain's main national conservative party) under Manuel Fraga, a former minister and ambassador under the Franco regime. |
