The Trajectory of Spain’s Radical Alternative

So remember Podemos? The party that was created by Spain’s Indignados movement on which #Occupy later modeled itself?

At first, the party was all “we’ll ditch the constitution, we’ll leave the EU, we’ll refuse to pay the debts to European banks, we are a radical alternative to the political status quo, let the revolution begin!”

That was only in 2013 but since then the party has traveled to the center with great speed. Today it’s all “the constitution we’ve got is not that bad, the EU has its uses, the status quo is quite attractive, revolution who?”
