BN-PG organized numerous protests over a variety of issues (self-determination, ecologist causes, normalization of the Galician language, international solidarity, amnesty, ...).

[6] The party was heavily linked to the Intersindical Nacional Galega (industrial and services workers) and Sindicato Labrego Galego (peasants) unions and to a series of mass social movements and platforms, like the ecologist ADEGA.

The strongholds of the party were either industrial towns or rural areas with a strong presence of the Sindicato Labrego Galego (SLG).

In the Province of Lugo the BN-PG was stronger in the eastern area, specially in the Ancares mountains, were the SLG was very active.

The towns that had a BN-PG mayor in the 1979-1982 were: Ourol, Pedrafita do Cebreiro, Bueu, Fene, Láncara, Moaña, As Nogais, Ribeira de Piquín, Bóveda and Corcubión (1980-1982, the mayor was elected in the lists of the Party of Labour of Spain (PTE), but after the dissaparition of this party in 1980 the local PTE assembly joined the BN-PG).
