ABSTRACT
Chapter 5 presents an (almost) ideal typical example of a European Populist Radical Left Party, the case of the Spanish party Podemos (We Can). Podemos is a political organization born following the great street demonstrations convened spontaneously in 2011 by the people of the indignados. Podemos is one of the most important PRLPs in Western Europe. Following its foundation phase in which Podemos unleashed a harsh political critique of the bi-partisanship interpreted by the PSOE and the PP, the party led by Pablo Iglesias finds itself confronting strong internal conflicts and equally important electoral difficulties.
