Its executive secretary is Carlos Aymerica.[5] Among the members of this movement are former members of the Socialist Collective, Galician Unity and Inzar; as Ana Luisa Bouza, Camilo Nogueira, Xesús Veiga Buxán and the BNG mayors of municipalities like Bueu, Tomiño or Rianxo.[5]
Abrente is generally considered the more moderate BNG sector, both in national and social issues. In the European elections of 2014 Abrente supported the option of a joint list with Anova-Nationalist Brotherhood and Compromiso por Galicia.[6][7] Finally, only 5.8% of the BNG members supported the proposal of the common Galician nationalist candidacy, compared with the 85.4% who voted to concur with EH Bildu and 8.4% who voted in favor of a coalition with ERC.[8]
