Causa Galiza (Cause Galiza or Galician Cause) is a Galician left-wing Galician independentist political party. It was formed in 2012,[1] and transformed itself in a political party on March 2014. In the 2014 European elections the party supported both abstentionism or voting for the Galician Nationalist Bloc.[2]

Ideology

The party considers independence its main objective.[3][4] The party also supports socialism, feminism and the autonomy of the social movements.[5][6]

On the 31 of October 2015 9 members of Causa Galiza were arrested under the accusation of being members of Resistência Galega and of "glorifying terrorism"[7] All the activities of the organization have been banned by the Audiencia Nacional for a period of two years, and Causa Galiza could be fully banned.[8]
