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:
“The analogy between the mind and a computer fails for many reasons. The brain is constructed by principles that assure diversity and degeneracy. Unlike a computer, it has no replicative memory. It is historical and value driven. It forms categories by internal criteria and by constraints acting at many scales, not by means of a syntactically constructed program. The world with which the brain interacts is not unequivocally made up of classical categories.”
—Gerald M. Edelman (b. 1928)
“The art of government is the organization of idolatry. The bureaucracy consists of functionaries; the aristocracy, of idols; the democracy, of idolaters. The populace cannot understand the bureaucracy: it can only worship the national idols.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
