Podemos are the radical left political party.

The 24th of December, the local elections and in the thirteen regions of Spain was a real « political seism » in the two biggest cities in the country. In these cities two candidates of « popular unity » are probably going to take the control. The bipartisanship prevailing since the beginning of the eighties have been overturned by these two candidates last Sunday.

The face of this seism is Ada Colau and she is about to become Barcelone’s mayor. This woman is an active activist of the podemos party and the podemos support her actively.

In Madrid, the « Ahora Madrid » political list directed by Manuela Carmen ais just after the popular party. She could govern the city with the socialists and the Cuidadanos

This election seems to be a way for spannish population to express how much they were fed up of all the coruption scandals, and the austerity policy.

In that situation the real problem is to know if that vote is a real action and a real desire to elect the Podemos party or if it is just a reaction of the population to show their disagreement.

Finally, I think we could link that political news to an other one in our country. In deed, we could link it to the rise of the french political party: the Front National, which is also growing fast in our country. So it seems that the same phenomenon is happening in both countries, like a response to the crisis.
