National elections in Spain in 2015 will give Podemos their first real chance at taking hold of large segments of parliament and some polling suggests they could, in fact, take majority control. Like their counterparts in Greece—with whom they regularly communicate and have supported politically within the European Parliament—the members of Podemos have largely based their critique of the ruling class and political leaders on the negative impact that imposed austerity measures have had on the Spanish economy and people, especially the young. Podemos has also lashed out against government corruption and what it characterizes as a caste system which dominates domestic politics. In the wake of Mondays announcement from Greece that new general elections will be held early in the new year, Iglesias tweeted his support for Syriza and their leader Alexis Tsipras, saying, 2015 will be year of change in Europe. Well start from Greece. Cmon SYRIZA.
