Internal Organization
BNG regulates itself by local, regional and national assemblies, where members can vote and be voted to become regional delegates and thereafter members of the National Council. However, the internal functioning of the party has come into criticism in recent years. As a reaction to that two new organizations claiming for "transparency and internal democracy" have formed within the BNG. Namely these are: Encontro Irmandinho (led by former BNG president Xosé Manuel Beiras), Movemento Pola Base (formed by grassroots members and backed by the youth section Galiza Nova), and A Alternativa (supported by former MEP Camilo Nogueira). Furthermore, Anxo Quintana's leadership has been questioned after the bad results following the Galician 2009 elections.
Joint affiliation with other political groups outside the BNG is not allowed. The political groups currently recognised by the BNG (via a lengthy ratification process) are:
- Galician People's Union (Unión do Povo Galego, UPG) - communist
- Nationalist Left (Esquerda Nacionalista, EN) - social democratic
- Galician Unity (Unidade Galega, UG) - Social democracy
- Socialist Collective (Colectivo Socialista, CS) - socialist
- Inzar (I) - formed through the merger of the Galician branches of the Maoist Communist Movement (Movimiento Comunista, MC) and the Trotskyist Revolutionary Communist League (Liga Comunista Revolucionaria, LCR)
- Galician Nationalist Party-Galicianist Party (Partido Nacionalista Galego-Partido Galeguista, PNG) - liberal democrat, Social-liberalism
- Galician Movement for Socialism (Movemento Galego ao Socialismo, MGS)- communist, Independentism

Famous quotes containing the words internal and/or organization:
“Even if fathers are more benignly helpful, and even if they spend time with us teaching us what they know, rarely do they tell us what they feel. They stand apart emotionally: strong perhaps, maybe caring in a nonverbal, implicit way; but their internal world remains mysterious, unseen, “What are they really like?” we ask ourselves. “What do they feel about us, about the world, about themselves?””
—Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)
“The Red Cross in its nature, it aims and purposes, and consequently, its methods, is unlike any other organization in the country. It is an organization of physical action, of instantaneous action, at the spur of the moment; it cannot await the ordinary deliberation of organized bodies if it would be of use to suffering humanity, ... [ellipsis in original] it has by its nature a field of its own.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
