Title: Populism, representation and democracy: the case of the Spanish political organization Podemos (original) (raw)

This paper is part of the debate about the political identity of the organization Podemos. The objective is to discuss the question, which part of the literature supports, of the supposed populist identity of Podemos. In this way we seek to analyze the literature on Podemos as part of the discussion about the populist phenomenon and discuss if the characterization of the literature as a left-wing populism corresponds with the political documents of the formation, in particular its vision on the representation and democracy, and with its organizational structure as a political force.
