After the November 2019 Spanish general election, Podemos joined a coalition government with PSOE. This was the first coalition government in the country since the Second Spanish Republic.
Since 2024, Podemos has been a member of a group of European left-wing parties called the European Left Alliance for the People and the Planet which defends an alternative to capitalism.[1]
