ACE supported and participated in a government of the Galician Nationalist Bloc (BNG) and the Socialists' Party of Galicia (PSdG).

[1] ACE supported a local social movement called A Ría Non se Vende (The ría is not for sale) against the plans of the local government to build a new port in an area with historic and natural values.

49 neighbors of Cangas were judged due to the incidents during the demonstrations against the new port,[2] including various members of ACE.

In the local elections of 2015 ACE gained 4 town councillors (2 of the Galician People's Front and two of the United Left) and, for the first time, the mayorship of the municipality thanks to a pact with the BNG and Assembly for Unity (ASpUN).

[3] In the 2023 election the ACE called for a vote for Alternativa dos Veciños (AV).
