Overview
- Twenty-one months after resigning on January 26, 2024, the former organization chief published her first detailed explanation in Equator.
- She says Podemos pivoted to opposing or threatening to oppose much of the Sánchez government’s agenda, which she argues cut the party off from its voters.
- Her account describes a hostile stance toward the press, including claims it was preferable to have supporters who did not follow the news.
- She points to Pablo Iglesias’s constant media presence as preempting official positions and steering the party’s agenda, even after his departure from leadership.
- Arguing Podemos never consolidated as a conventional party and instead operated as an online movement with weak territorial structures, she adds she is teaching in Paris and does not plan to return to politics.
