Galician Revolutionary Students (in Galician: Estudantes Revolucionarios Galegos) was a leftwing nationalist students organization in Galicia, Spain. ERGA functioned as the students wing of the Galician People's Union (UPG). ERGA was founded in 1972. A few months after its foundation, ERGA had around 40 members.
ERGA published a monthly, Lume.
ERGA held its first Assembly in 1976 and its second in 1977. In January 1978 it held its first congress, with around 1000 people attending it.
In 1988 ERGA merged into the youth wing of the Galician Nationalist Bloc (BNG), Galiza Nova.
Famous quotes containing the word students:
“The fetish of the great university, of expensive colleges for young women, is too often simply a fetish. It is not based on a genuine desire for learning. Education today need not be sought at any great distance. It is largely compounded of two things, of a certain snobbishness on the part of parents, and of escape from home on the part of youth. And to those who must earn quickly it is often sheer waste of time. Very few colleges prepare their students for any special work.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
