Podemos, Political party in Madrid, Spain
Podemos is a political organization headquartered on Calle de la Princesa in Madrid that promotes democratic socialism and progressive policies within Spanish politics. The party advocates for social justice, economic reforms, and greater citizen involvement in governance.
The organization formed in 2014 during Spain's economic crisis, growing out of anti-austerity protests led by Pablo Iglesias Turrión and fellow academics. After the 2023 elections, the party joined the broader Sumar coalition while keeping its organizational identity.
Through local discussion circles called 'círculos', Podemos integrates citizen participation in political decision-making processes across Spanish communities.
Members can participate in activities through digital platforms and visit regional offices for political discussions and events. Those interested can find information about local meetings and involvement opportunities on the organization's website.
Following electoral changes in 2023, Podemos merged into the broader political coalition Sumar while maintaining its distinct organizational structure.
