Podemos

Spain's equality minister has tested positive for coronavirus and has been quarantined with her partner, deputy prime minister and Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias, a government statement said Thursday.

Polls opened in Spain today for the second elections since December aimed at unblocking six months of political paralysis, just days after a shock Brexit.

When Alberto Rodriguez of Podemos turned up for the new Spanish parliament's first session in the grand chamber in Madrid, his dreadlocks, jeans and scruffy jumper drew a look of disapproval from the staid prime minister, Mariano Rajoy.

Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is meeting with the leaders of two upstart parties following the December 20 election that gave Rajoy's party the most votes but left it without a parliamentary majority.

Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy officially kicked off his campaign for re-election Thursday evening with the promise that his party "takes Spain seriously", ahead of tight legislative polls on 20 December.

Greece has Syriza, Spain has Podemos and Britain may soon have its own anti-austerity political force if bearded socialist veteran Jeremy Corbyn becomes leader of the main opposition Labour party.

Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in Madrid today in support of new anti-austerity party Podemos, a week after Greece elected its hard-left ally Syriza.

People were wondering what had happened to the "Indignants", the protesters who swamped Spanish squares in 2011 to demand political change.
