A grass-root militant of the Galician People's Union and of the "Frente Cultural" of the Galician National-Popular Assembly, he was elected councillor in Monforte in 1979 for the Galician National-Popular Bloc. He resigned in 1985, and moved to A Coruña to fully devote himself to literary and cultural activities. His column, "Walking on Earth", appeared in the newspaper "Our Earth". One of the last campaigns in which he took part was in response to the Prestige oil spill disaster, under the names of "Burla Negra" (" Black Mockery") and the Plataforma Nunca Máis ("Never More" Platform).
