AMADEO, Javier. Populism, Representation and Democracy: The case of the Spanish Political Organization Podemos. Rev. mex. cienc. polít. soc [online]. 2021, vol.66, n.243, pp.241-264.  Epub 31-Ene-2022. ISSN 0185-1918.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fcpys.2448492xe.2021.243.72778.

This article is framed by the debate about the political identity of the organization Podemos. It aims to analyze the partially supported argument by existing literature regarding the supposed populist identity of Podemos. In this way we seek to review the literature on Podemos as part of the discussion on the populist phenomenon and reflect whether its characterization as left-wing populism corresponds with its political documents particularly its vision on representation and democracy, as well as its organizational structure as a political force.
