Galician Solidarity (SG, Solidaridad Gallega in Spanish language) was a Galician regionalist political organization active between 1907 and 1912.
History
After the electoral triumph of Catalan Solidarity in the elections of 1907,[c] contacts between the opposition forces increased in Galicia for the establishment of a political force that would bring together all the sectors opposed to the turnista system and to caciquismo. Autonomy for Galicia was the other main goal of Galician Solidarity.
The opposition towards caciquismo and support for agricultural associations were the main pillars of the organization. Under the patronage of Galician Solidarity, 400 agrarian societies were formed, although in 1911 only 85 remained affiliated with SG.
Solidarismo Gallego was the official newspaper of SG, published for the first time in December 1907. On April 16, 1908, Solidarismo Gallego was replaced by the weekly Solidaridad Gallega, also directed by Rodrigo Sanz and disappeared in 1911 or 1912. The republican and leftist faction edited Galicia Solidaria between 1907 and 1908.
Agrarianists: this faction was composed of agrarianist activist of the rural areas. Some of them would later join Acción Gallega. This factions supported the creation of agrarian associations and agrarian unions. The agrarianist also wanted to end the foros, an amount of money that the galician peasants had to pay to the owners of their land (mainly low nobility, the church and rich farmers).
