Podemos (Spanish: [poˈðemos], "We Can") is a Spanish left-wing political party. It was founded in 2014 by Pablo Iglesias Turrión as a political platform for the anti-austerity 15-M movement.

After the November 2019 Spanish general election, Podemos joined a coalition government with PSOE. This was the first coalition government in the country since the Second Spanish Republic.
