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:
“I believe that there was a great age, a great epoch when man did not make war: previous to 2000 B.C. Then the self had not really become aware of itself, it had not separated itself off, the spirit was not yet born, so there was no internal conflict, and hence no permanent external conflict.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“When a man’s partner’s killed, he’s supposed to do something about it. It doesn’t make any difference what you thought of him, he was your partner and you’re supposed to do something about it. As it happens, we’re in the detective business; well, when one of your organization gets killed, it’s, it’s bad business to let the killer get away with it. Bad all around. Bad for every detective everywhere.”
—John Huston (1906–1987)
