Podemos

Podemos is a Spanish political party founded in 2014 that advocates for social justice, anti-austerity measures, and increased public investment. Emerging from grassroots protests, it positions itself as left-wing and aims to challenge traditional political elites by promoting greater transparency, democratic participation, and policies to reduce inequality. Podemos seeks to reform economic and political systems to make them more fair and accessible for ordinary citizens, emphasizing issues like workers’ rights, social services, and anti-corruption. Its rise reflects frustration with austerity, corruption, and economic disparity, offering an alternative to established parties in Spain.
