The Bloque Nacionalista Galego (BNG) has engaged in ongoing criticism of the municipal government in Vigo regarding urban planning and social policy.

Initially, the BNG accused the PSOE and PP of “sectarismo” for failing to cooperate on a motion to address poverty and homelessness. The party specifically criticized the city’s General Municipal Urban Development Plan (PXOM), alleging it has failed to mitigate the housing crisis and has instead prioritized luxury developments over the needs of residents on housing waiting lists.

More recently, the BNG has opposed a municipal project to construct nine new dog parks. Spokesperson Xabier P. Igrexas characterized the proposed designs as “dog pens” and criticized the administration for a lack of technical consultation with experts. The party is seeking to halt the bidding process for these projects, arguing for integrated green spaces rather than segregated enclosures.
