 Today, at 20:00 we will now what the future of a new generation in Spanish politics will be like, the only party to the left of socialdemocracy that has proven itself to be capable of attracting five milllion voters after two years of its creation in a party where the bipartisan system was taken for granted and politics was not an issue anymore, the thrive of a democratic socialist as well as populist formula was not to be expected in Spain as it was not a specially left or right wing country, but everybody knew what was happening, deep inside of each Spanish citizen there was a thought, an idea telling them corruption was law and inequality was order, and PODEMOS was able to transform that thought into a voice thanks to a purely angry and populist rethoric, this was the best option in a Spain that had one right wing party that was performing at its baddest and in an anti democratic way at the moment, but today the message is not effective anymore. Spaniards are thankful for having a new government coalition in which there is a certain message of centrality,  moderation and democracy, and that means the liberal party, the social democrats and the conservatives are now seen by citizens as the same political privileged and inconvenient class that needs to be changed, and the only way PODEMOS can achieve being recognized as the real left wing alternative is not the same formula applied in the former political situation, the municipality organization in citizenship meetings is very democratic but has failed miserably, and democratic socialist policies are regarded as purely socialist by most citizens that would label themselves as leftist but are scared of such an agressive speech, the strategy must be from my point of view not to follow the same path as current leader Pablo Iglesias proposes but to follow the plan of Iñigo Errejón, taking the political fight to the democratic institutions by actively proposing laws in favor of democracy and equality and in a way abandoning the idea of democratic socialism for a reinvention of socialdemocracy, not the socialdemocracy that has governed Spain serving the interest of the wealthy and let down citizens expecting a change in our democratic model,  but a socialdemocracy that cares not only about making sure nobody dies in winter because of a lack of resources and get decent public services, but also of actively fighting in institutions at a European and international level, promoting sanctions against all countries violating human rights no matter commercial interests, welcoming 30000 refugees and making the use of green energies a priority,  have a good day.
