👉 2015 Spanish general election in the context of Pedro Sánchez

Pedro Sánchez Pérez-Castejón (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpeðɾo ˈsantʃeθ ˈpeɾeθ kasteˈxon] ; born 29 February 1972) is a Spanish politician and economist who has served as Prime Minister of Spain since 2018. He has also been Secretary-General of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) since July 2017, having previously held that office from 2014 to 2016, and has also been serving as the ninth president of Socialist International since 2022.

Sánchez began his political career in August 2004 as a city councillor in Madrid, before being elected to the Congress of Deputies in 2009. In 2014, he was elected Secretary-General of the PSOE, becoming Leader of the Opposition. He led the party through the inconclusive 2015 and 2016 general elections, but resigned as Secretary-General shortly after the latter, following public disagreements with the party's executive. He was re-elected in a leadership election eight months later, defeating internal rivals Susana Díaz and Patxi López.

2015 Spanish general election in the context of Podemos (Spanish political party)

Podemos ([poˈðemos], lit. 'We Can') is a left-wing to far-left political party in Spain. Founded in January 2014 by the political scientist Pablo Iglesias Turrión as part of the anti-austerity movement in Spain, the party is currently led by Secretary-General Ione Belarra.

Podemos emerged in the context of the economic crisis at the start of the 2010s and the aftermath of the Spain's anti-austerity movement, which was protesting against inequality and corruption. A fast-growing movement, the party took part in the 2014 European Parliament election, winning almost 8% of the vote and five seats out of 54, outperforming the polls. The party would go on to participate in the 2015 and 2016 Spanish general election, becoming the country's third-largest political force, but underperforming against the PSOE in the battle for hegemony in the Spanish left.
