History
After the electoral triumph of Catalan Solidarity in 1907, 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.
In the summer of 1907, 44 people have signed the Manifesto Solidario, which gave rise to Galician Solidarity. Among the founders of Solidarity were the republicans led by José Rodríguez Martínez, federal republicans led by Segundo Moreno Barcia, traditionalists led by Juan Vázquez de Mella and the regionalists led by Manuel Murguía, Galo Salinas and Uxío Carré.
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.
In the municipal elections of 1909 SG obtained 258 town councilors in the province of A Coruña (absolute majority in 12 municipalities), but the differences between the members and currents of the organization prevented their consolidation. In the municipal elections of 1910 obtained bad results.
Press
Solidarismo Gallego was the official newspaper of SG, published for the first time in December 1907. In 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.
