The party held its founding meeting in Santiago de Compostela on July 25, 2011, Dia Nacional de Galicia ("National Day of Galicia") and was registered by the Spanish Ministry of Interior the same week.

In March 2012, it ran for the Elections to the General Council of the Principality of Asturias, but only in the Western electoral district where the Galician-speaking Eo-Navia region is located, gaining no seats.[3] In October 2012, it contested the Galizan Parliamentary Election obtaining 3,307 votes (0,22%) and ranking as seventh extraparliamentary party (second among the votes issued by Galician citizens abroad) out of a total of 26 groups running in the elections. In May 2014, it contested the European Parliament Election receiving 9,940 votes in the whole of Spain, although the highest proportion of votes was obtained in Galicia. In the local elections of 2015, the party gained a councillor in Lousame.
