Having borrowed President Obama’s famous ‘ yes we can’ slogan Podemos<br /> proved to be a success story of the EU elections in Spain last May. <br /><br />Created in January 2014 they managed to take Spain by storm in only 4 months, getting nearly 8% of the vote and 5 seats in the EU Parliament. <br /><br />The face of Podemos is 35-year- old ponytailed Pablo Iglesias, who led the campaign.<br /><br />Leftield and maverick, he cuts a very different figure from the conventional politicians walking the Parliament’s corridors. <br /><br />In this edition of Reporter we examine the movement’s stunning electoral debut. We talk to those involved from the beginning to learn more about their motivations and aspirations. <br /><br />Above all, they strive for meaningful change to the political establishment. But can they sustain their challenge in Spain’s next elections or is the movement just a one-off reaction to austerity?.<br /><br />Watch the video to find out.
