The majority of Galicians do not know which party is currently in second place in terms of representatives and electoral strength in the regional Parliament. The first one is the PP, the third one, the PSOE. But the second one is not just BNG, but the UPG, the old “U” of the colonels, which still seems to be hibernating, not showing its paw until will there be a Block assembly, where positions are set. Ana Pontón is also active in UPG, a Marxist-Leninist party and a supporter of Galician independence, but her policy has been left-handed and white-glove to attract voters beyond the borders of the “U “. Successfully: he went from almost disappearing to 25 deputies, as an official alternative to the PP – real, more dubious – and with the PSdeG suffering alone the punishment that Mr. PS sent out to Galicia not hidden. The last one, with the Vigo-Oporto AVE, was put down, and before that by refusing to save the AP-9 and transfer them to the Xunta, despite the unanimous vote of the Galician Parliament, PSdeG a ‘ include.
But for the colonels of the old “U” there is Pontón – horror! – software and marketing products and have given him homework. His documents, which will be approved at the convention, are worth reading. He clearly states that the path taken must lead to “Galiza” gaining the right to self-determination to become a republic. UPG regretted how the BNG seemed to be leading towards activities with a greater focus on “marketing and performance activities or images”, to the detriment of “sovereign specific” discourse. Good to know, as well as Ana Pontón and the voters.

## UPG’s Rise: A Game-Changer in Galician Politics?
The Galician political landscape is undergoing a significant shift, with the Marxist-Leninist party, UPG (unidade Popular Galega), emerging as a strong contender for second place in the regional Parliament. This rise comes as the traditional leftist party, BNG, struggles to maintain its relevance and the PSOE suffers from perceived neglect by the national Socialist party.
To understand this political upheaval and its implications for galicia’s future, World Today News sat down with Dr. Sofia Rodriguez, a leading Galician political scientist and author of “The Evolving Political Landscape of Galicia,” and Xabier Garcia, a seasoned political journalist with over two decades of experience covering Galician politics.
**Dr. Sofia Rodriguez** is a professor of Political Science at the University of Santiago de Compostela and an expert on Galician regionalism and political growth.
**Xabier Garcia** is a renowned political journalist with extensive experience covering Galician affairs for major Spanish newspapers.
This interview aims to shed light on the factors behind UPG’s rise, analyze its political platform, and explore the potential consequences for Galicia’s political landscape moving forward.
### UPG’s Unexpected Surge
**World Today News:** dr. Rodriguez, the article highlights UPG’s unexpected climb in popularity. Can you shed light on the factors behind thier success?
**Dr. Rodriguez:** UPG’s rise can be attributed to several factors. firstly, they have effectively tapped into a vein of discontent with the traditional parties. Their left-leaning,pro-independence message resonates with voters disillusioned by the status quo. Secondly, Ana Pontón’s leadership has been crucial. Her focus on concrete issues and her ability to connect with voters have helped UPG broaden its appeal beyond its traditional base.
**World Today News:** Xabier, how do you see the rise of UPG impacting the political dynamics between the PP, PSOE, and BNG?
**Xabier Garcia:** UPG’s emergence creates a new and complex dynamic.Their strong stance on independence directly challenges BNG, possibly pulling away voters who previously saw BNG as the sole voice for self-determination. It puts pressure on the PSOE, which is already struggling to maintain its foothold in Galicia, and forces the PP to adapt its strategy.
### The Road to Galician Independence
**world Today news:** Dr. rodriguez, UPG’s documents explicitly state their commitment to Galician independence. How realistic is this goal,and what are the potential implications for galicia and its relationship with Spain?
**Dr. Rodriguez:** while achieving independence is a complex and multifaceted process, UPG’s stance reflects a growing sentiment within Galicia.
“UPG clearly states that the path taken must lead to ‘Galiza’ gaining the right to self-determination to become a republic.” **
Their success depends on building a broader movement for independence,gaining popular support,and navigating the complex legal and political hurdles inherent in separatist movements.
**World Today News:** Xabier, what are your thoughts on the viability of UPG’s independence platform, and how might it play out on a national level?
**Xabier Garcia:** It is indeed to early to gauge the long-term viability of UPG’s independence platform. It is a complex issue that would require significant political and social changes. However, their rise signals a growing desire for greater autonomy and self-determination within Galicia.
### The Future of Galician Politics
**World today News:** Dr. Rodriguez, what are some potential challenges UPG might face in consolidating its position and achieving its political goals?
**Dr. Rodriguez:** UPG faces several challenges. Maintaining its current level of support will require them to articulate concrete policy proposals that address the concerns of a diverse electorate. They must also navigate the challenges of governing,if they win enough seats to form a coalition or lead a government.
**World Today News:** Xabier,what are your predictions for the future of Galician politics,given the rise of UPG?
**Xabier Garcia:**
“UPG’s rise has undoubtedly shaken up the political landscape in Galicia,and its impact will be felt for years to come.”
We are likely to see a more fragmented political scene with multiple parties vying for power. The debate around Galician independence will gain momentum,and the traditional parties will need to adapt to this new reality.
