Description
Summary:The sovereign crisis of the Spanish state, along with the unprecedentedly severe economic crisis and the tide of mobilisations (Arab Spring), produced an extraordinarily vigorous popular response, which in turn drew attention to the crisis in the structure of communication between civil society and the public political sphere. The effects of this crisis can be seen in the established parties and in the appearance of new ones. One of these, Podemos, claims to be the expression of popular mobilisations, and this subjects it to considerable inter-territorial stress, for as a party that competes in general elections, it requires a good deal of centralisation. This political centralisation operates in every one of the different autonomous territories and also nationally, adding a degree of complexity which is further accentuated by the tendency to personalise positions of power. And to add to this complexity is the issue of corruption among political parties and the proliferation of new political media.
