Galician Workers Front (FOGA, Fronte Obreira Galega in Galician language) is a Galician political organization. It was formed in 2010 by militants of the trade union world, mainly of the Confederación Intersindical Galega (CIG). The organization was integrated in the Galician Nationalist Bloc (BNG)[1][2] until 2012, when the FOGA abandoned the BNG and was one of the three parties that formed Anova-Nationalist Brotherhood.[3]

It has a deputy in the Galician Parliament, Chelo Martínez.[4] Its top leaders are Miguel Anxo Malvido, its national coordinator, and Tino Álvarez, the national spokesperson. The MP later left FOGA and joined Cerna.

The FOGA left Anova in 2014.[5] Since then, FOGA has become closer to the Galician Nationalist Bloc (BNG) again[6][7]

FOGA supports Nós-Candidatura Galega in the Spanish elections of 2015.[8]
