Xosé Manuel Beiras, a prominent figure in Galician nationalism, has died at the age of 90. He led the Bloque Nacionalista Galego (BNG) for over two decades, becoming a central force in Galician politics. In 2012, Beiras founded Anova, a political party which subsequently played a crucial role in forming left-wing alliances within Galicia. His leadership within the BNG marked a significant period for the party and the Galician nationalist movement. Anova’s later influence helped shape the landscape of left-wing politics in Galicia, fostering broader coalitions. Beiras’s death marks the end of an era for Galician political activism and leaves a lasting legacy on the region’s political landscape. He is remembered as a key architect of modern Galician political thought and organization.
