Galiza Nova (Young Galiza) is the youth organization of the Galician Nationalist Bloc, founded in 1988.
Galiza Nova is the youth organization of the Galician Nationalist Bloc (BNG) whose basic function is the organization and mobilization of youth in order to achieve the national liberation of Galicia and the social transformation of the modern society. Its operation is based on assemblearism, with a decentralized structure divided in local and regional assemblies. The highest political body is the National Assembly that is held every two years, and where all the membership has the right to attend.
Although originally it was an independent organization, it quickly began to work as the youth organization of the Galician Nationalist Bloc, until the II Assembly (Compostela, 1990), absorbed ERGA and the Union of the Galician Youth, approved the admission into the BNG. They define their political objectives as the: "national liberation and the transformation of society (without national, class or gender oppression/exploitation and totally demilitarized)," claim a fully sovereign Galiza as the final culmination of the process of national self-determination. Galiza Nova also defends that the relationship between the different nations of the world should be based on equality and internationalist solidarity. Galiza Nova is also against the NATO and defends an Europe of the peoples as opposed to the current European Union of the states. Until its abolition in 2002, the organization was a strong opponent of conscription and supported insubordination against it.
