==Background==
''Nunca Máis'' organized a number of demonstrations to ensure the official recognition of Galicia as a catastrophe zone and the immediate resource base to repair the economic, social, environmental and health problems resulting from the disaster. It also called for the set in of motion of disaster prevention systems, in order to avoid disasters like this from occurring. The demonstrations were attended by thousands on successive days.{{cn|date=November 2017}}

On August 11, 2006, the ''Plataforma Nunca Máis'' announced their reactivation to fight against the wave of forest fires that had been started throughout Galicia. A number of rallies in the Galician capital, [[Santiago de Compostela]], were organised, with large numbers attending.{{cn|date=November 2017}}

''Nunca Máis'' acts as a co-ordinator of other associations, namely cultural, civic and ecologist associations. In this fashion, ''Nunca Máis'' could be considered as of being made up of a series of other associations, despite having its own directive board.{{cn|date=November 2017}}
