===[[File:Cball-Spain.png]] Spain [[File:Podemos.png]]===
In [[File:Cball-Spain.png]] Spain there is a political party called '''Podemos''' that supports [[File:Demsocstar.png]] [[Democratic Socialism]],  [[File:AntiAusterity.png]] Anti-Austerity measures, [[File:Fem.png]] [[Feminism]], [[File:AntiNeoLib.png]] Anti-Neoliberalism, [[File:Directdem.png]] [[Democracy#Direct_Democracy|Direct Democracy]], [[File:Fed.png]] [[Federalism]], [[File:Anti-Atlanticism.png]] withdrawal of Spain from NATO (formerly) and the [[File:Cball-2Spainrepub.png]] implementation of a Republic in Spain.

[[File:Podemos.png]] Podemos was founded thanks to the protests of the 15-M Movement, which took place from a protesting in 2011 for a more direct democracy against the two-party system of [[File:SpaPP.png]] [[Liberal Conservatism|PP]] and [[File:PSOE.png]] [[Social Democracy|PSOE]]. The party ran in the 2015 Spanish general elections.

In 2016 was founded the coalition [[File:Unidas Podemos.png]] Unidos Podemos, whose name was changed to Unidas Podemos in 2019. This coalition was led by Podemos and other left-wing parties such as [[File:SpaIU.png]] [[Reformist Marxism|Izquierda Unida]], [[File:Ecosoc.png]] [[Eco-Socialism|Alianza Verde]], etc.

In the 2019 Spanish general elections, the [[File:PSOE.png]] PSOE (led by Pedro Sanchez and winner of the elections) and [[File:Unidas Podemos.png]] Unidas Podemos (led by Pablo Iglesias) made a coalition government to rule in the country, making Pablo Iglesias one of the vice presidents of [[File:Cball-Spain.png]] Spain for a certain period of time and some politicians of Unidas Podemos as ministers.

During the Madrid Assembly Elections of 2021, Pablo Iglesias decided to run as a candidate for [[File:Unidas Podemos.png]] Unidas Podemos in the Community of Madrid after resigning as Vice President of Spain. The elections ended up giving winner to the [[File:SpaPP.png]] [[Liberal Conservatism|PP]] with 44.76%, so Pablo Iglesias decided to retire from politics.

In 2023 the [[File:Unidas Podemos.png]] Unidas Podemos coalition suffered an electoral setback in the municipal and regional elections, so [[File:Podemos.png]] Podemos decided to run in the [[File:Sumar.png]] Sumar coalition (led by the Movimiento Sumar party, the coalition included other left-wing parties such as Izquierda Unida and Más País) for the general elections. With the result of these, negotiations between [[File:PSOE.png]] [[Social Democracy|PSOE]] and [[File:Sumar.png]] Sumar began, [[File:Podemos.png]] Podemos criticised the lack of autonomy they were being given and rejected proposals that did not put Irene Montero as Minister of Equality. The result was worse when no Podemos member occupied a ministry. Finally, [[File:Podemos.png]] Podemos broke off relations with [[File:Sumar.png]] Sumar.

[[File:Sumar.png]] Sumar is led by Yolanda Díaz, Minister of Labour and Social Economy and a member of the Communist Party of Spain.
