« Podemos » is a political party created in January 2014 by Pablo Iglesias. It registered as a political party in March 2014 to participate to the European Election. In May 2014 it was already the 4th political party in Spain and w

on 5 seats in the European Parliament. 

This party federate people who feels « abandoned » by the ruling class, which is considered like non able to respond to the society’s needs. 

The party is taking advantage of this people’s abandon feeling and get the growing indignation and anger together.  

Pablo Iglesias has actually declare « Podemos was born in Spain beacause a possibility of political action appears » and he describes himself like « an activist who puts himself on service to everybody »

The « Podemos » are young, and a party from the  extreme left. 

They have an ideology very near to the extrem left, but doesn’t want to have a clear position in the political range. About that, Pablo Iglesias has declared « this is not about right or left, but about democracy or tyranny »

The podemos’s political platform is similar to Syriza’s one. Syriza is the grec political party of extrem left. Their aim is denouncing all the political corruption scandals of all the others political party. They want to change demand and claim into a real political change. 

Concretely, they are fighting against illigitimate debt, the expulsions, the reductions in the education’s and health’s finances, the recent graduated’s forced exil. But their programme is softer since the European Elections. 

This year is a very busy electoral year in Spain, and Podemos decided that they were not ready to be elected. So they only decided to be present in some little municipalities. 

They have no elected mumber on the territory yet. So they are very expected and watched.
