Conceyu Xoven claimed to have had more than 1,500 members and to have been the most important organization in the Leonese Country, having won the University of León elections for students. The organization defended the self-government of the Spanish provinces of León, Zamora, Salamanca and a so-called "reunification" referendum in territories from other provinces, autonomous communities and countries, as the "Carrión Strip" (Palencia), the Valderaduey valley (Valladolid), El Barco de Ávila-Piedrahita area (Ávila), Valdeorras & Viana (Galicia) and the Portuguese Bragança District. From the beginning until the end of the organization's activity the General Secretary of "Conceyu Xoven" was Abel Pardo Fernández.
