Pablo Iglesias, leader of Podemos
   'Podemos’ (or We Can) is a new political party which, starting from zero, has recently got a relevant status in the European Elections.
Their proposal is trying to turn indignation into a political change. Their  General Secretary is Pablo Iglesias and their headquarters are in Madrid. Last Saturday, it became a political party organized in the usual way. Their goal is winning the General Elections that will be held in 2015 and the last surveys place them amongst the three main political parties in the country.

   Meanwhile, voices are divided in society, from those who trust in ‘Podemos’ to lead a campaign towards getting a change in the way politics is carried out and abolishing the privileges a few people have, to those who argue that his proposals aren’t viable.

PODEMOS, ‘WE CAN’, SURPASSES PP AND PSOE ENCOURAGED BY CITIZENSHIP RAGE
But the truth is that a political party just 8 months old threatens to disturb the political map which has lasted four decades. If the General Elections were held right now, Podemos would be top one with a 27% of the votes, 1,5 points from PSOE and 7 points from PP.
