Communist Party of Galicia (Revolutionary Marxist) (in Galician: Partido Comunista de Galicia (Marxista-Revolucionario), PCG-MR) was a communist political party in Galiza, founded by the followers of Santiago Carrillo after their expulsion from the Communist Party of Galicia (PCG) in October 1985.

History

PCG-MR participated in the 19856 Galician elections, gaining 8,318 votes (0.66%) and failing to win any seat. In the municipal elections of 1987, PCG-MR had 8 town councillors elected. In the general elections of 1986, the party gained 12,072 votes and, again, no seats.

Following the bad result of the 1989 general elections, PCG-MR merged into the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party in 1991, and organized itself as an internal tendency called Left Unity (Unidade da Esquerda).
