The Bloque Nacionalista Galego (BNG) has raised concerns regarding the administration of family and childhood subsidies in Galicia.

In Vigo, the BNG urged the City Council to resolve pending school meal subsidy applications before the September academic year begins. The group noted that approximately 4,000 families are awaiting decisions, warning that delays create financial uncertainty for households and parent associations.

Separately, the BNG criticized the Xunta de Galicia for excluding municipal summer camps from the 2026 Bono Concilia Familia aid program. Spokesperson Ariadna Fernández argued that while private and social entities remain eligible, the exclusion of city-organized activities penalizes families choosing public services. The group also noted that the program rules were not published before many camps had already concluded.
