The exodus of the left: What direction is the left taking in Spain? Clara Serra (politics, writer) and Cesar Rendueles (professor, writer) will develop an analysis of the drift of the Spanish left from the last ten years until the COVID-19 crisis to end up proposing its future.
Until the emergence of the Podemos parliamentary groupthe fragmentation of the left It seemed almost inconceivable; the purple party represented an early manifestation of general discontent with the system and the Spanish left. Ten years after what happened, what is their current situation? While some parties have given up on continuing to bet on the worker's struggleOther parties have given more importance to new social positions such as feminism y the commons economy.
The panel will address how the left should approach Spain's political future. Should they focus on issues of economic security, or should they instead address other matters more closely linked to autonomy and quality of life? Can they reconcile Do both positions converge at some point? Is this fragmentation efficient in the face of the anti-capitalist struggle and the institutional crisis of COVID-19?
