History
Due to the internal problems of the CAF and the CAE, those two organizations opted for its self-dissolution and boosted the creation of a new galician student union. That organization would be Comités, that had its constituent assembly in May 2008.
In 2011 a group of more than 150 militants abandoned Comités, and accused the direction of undemocratic practices and of being subordinated to the Galician People's Union strategy.{{cite web |url=http://www.galiciahoxe.com/vivir-hoxe-aulas/gh/liga-estudiantil-galega-presentase-alternativa-ao-lobby-da-upg/idEdicion-2011-04-01/idNoticia-654894/ |title=A Liga Estudiantil Galega preséntase como alternativa ao "lobby da UPG" |website=www.galiciahoxe.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006083133/http://www.galiciahoxe.com/vivir-hoxe-aulas/gh/liga-estudiantil-galega-presentase-alternativa-ao-lobby-da-upg/idEdicion-2011-04-01/idNoticia-654894/ |archive-date=2014-10-06}} The splitters would create the same year the Galician Student League.{{Cite web|url=http://www.lavozdegalicia.es/santiago/2011/03/29/0003_201103S29C8999.htm|title=Nace la Liga Estudantil Galega, organización de los escindidos del sindicato Comités Abertos|date=29 March 2011}}
