| Summary: | This article analyses the influence that the April 25, 1974 revolution in Portugal had on the development and political culture of the new left-wing Galician nationalism, born in the 1960s, represented by a Marxist-Leninist and anti-colonialist current (UPG) and a democratic socialist one (PSG). Although Portugal had already played a significant role in the shaping of Galicianism since its beginnings, it was the connections forged between the Portuguese revolutionary left and the Galician nationalist left after the Carnation Revolution that helped overcome their mutual ignorance, at least for a while. Notably, the UPG set up a propaganda base in Porto and forged ties with various Portuguese leftist organizations. In the long term, the April Revolution left a lasting impact on the political culture of left-wing Galician nationalism, which endures to this day.
