Podemos (Spanish: [poˈðemos], "We Can") is a Spanish left-wing political party. It was founded in 2014 by Pablo Iglesias Turrión as a political platform for the anti-austerity 15-M movement.
After the November 2019 Spanish general election, Podemos joined a coalition government with PSOE. This was the first coalition government in the country since the Second Spanish Republic.
Since 2024, Podemos has been a member of a group of European left-wing parties called the European Left Alliance for the People and the Planet which defends an alternative to capitalism.[1]
