💥 Fundador de Podemos sobre por qué FRACASÓ la IZQUIERDA: Cloacas y reformismo | #NoObstante 4x24

To what extent did the state's dirty tricks influence that period, and to what extent were the mistakes also internal? In this episode of #noobstante, @AymeRoman talks with Miguel Urbán, co-founder of Podemos, former Member of the European Parliament, and a member of Anticapitalistas since his teens. We discuss the tension between party logic and grassroots self-organization, the transformation of a movement that aspired to change institutions, and the (multiple) reasons that explain the decline of various forces "to the left" of the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party). Miguel recounts the political persecution he suffered during Podemos's peak years: harassment campaigns, threats against his family, and "Operation Cardinal," a police setup that falsely linked him to a 40-kilo cocaine shipment. We also discuss the fictions surrounding the European Union, immigration policies, the rise of the far right, the genocide in Gaza, the limits of political representation, and the need to rebuild a left capable of reconnecting with the people. No Obstante is a project we're developing without any external aid or funding.

What do you think? Do the campaigns of lawfare and mediafare alone explain the decline of the left that governed with the PSOE, or is it a more complex problem? 0:00 Trailer 🎬🍿 2:12 Intro 🎙️👋 4:16 Origins in the activism and founding of Podemos 🌱🗳️ 9:11 The presentation of Podemos and the citizen outpouring 🎤🔵 15:58 The second Vistalegre and the risk of becoming normalized 🏟️⚠️ 20:29 The "borrowed vote" debate with Alberto Garzón 🗳️🔄 25:53 The rise and fall of Syriza in Greece 🇬🇷📈 33:25 Dirty tricks and the overtaking that never happened 🕳️📉 35:13 The break with Podemos upon entering the government 💔🏛️ 42:59 Assessment of the Coalition government 💶⚖️ 44:40 The loss of credibility of the left 📉🤔 47:47 Their experience governing in Madrid 🏙️🔧 53:16 Is reconciliation between the left possible? 🤝🧩 59:30 Organizing Beyond the Vote ✊🗳️ 1:03:06 The Revolution He Imagines: The Paris Commune 🗼🔥 1:04:51 Reflecting on Ten Years as an MEP 🇪🇺🕰️ 1:09:23 Borders, Calais, Open Arms, and Lampedusa 🚧🌊 1:15:18 The Six Assassination Attempts He Suffered 🎯⚠️ 1:18:26 Attacks on His Parents and Family 🚗💥 1:21:01 Operation Cardinal: The Police Set-Up 🎭🚔 1:26:21 The Police Report and Its Contradictions 📄🤨 1:29:37 What the Set-Up Revealed About the State 🏛️🕳️ 1:34:24 Generational shift and legal battle ⚖️🔄 1:39:15 The global rise of the far right 🌍🔺 1:44:12 Final thoughts and community questions 💭📨 1:57:35 Outro 🎙️🚪 ⭐ Become a YouTube channel member:    / @furortv   🎙️ 'No Obstante' Podcast: https://linktr.ee/noobstante 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/13VXUWQ... 🎶 Ivoox: https://www.ivoox.com/podcast-no-obst... 📺 YouTube:    • No Obstante | Podcast 🎙️   🎙️ 'Tell Us' Podcast: https://linktr.ee/cuentanos 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7aQNRee... 🎶 Ivoox: https://go.ivoox.com/sq/3139189 📺 YouTube:    • Cuéntanos | Podcast 🎙️   👉🏼 Join Furor TV! ➞   / furortv   👉🏼 Subscribe here! ➞ https://cutt.ly/9IBlRhV Our spaces and social media: 🫂 Our official social media ➞ https://linktr.ee/furortv 👥 Patreon ➞   / furortv   🔴 Twitch ➞   / furortv   📹 Sergio Gregori's Channel ➞ https://acortar.link/AyhOmm 📹 Ayme Román's Channel ➞ https://acortar.link/pb8GDa 🎙️ 'Tell Us' Podcast ➞ http://linktr.ee/cuentanos 🎙️ 'Nevertheless' Podcast ➞ https://linktr.ee/noobstante 🐦 Twitter ➞   / furortelevision   🦋 Bluesky ➞ https://bsky.app/profile/furortv.bsky... 📷 Instagram ➞   / furortv   💻 Facebook ➞   / furortv   🌐 Website ➞ https://www.furor.tv 📩 Email ➞ [email protected] Subscribe and turn on notifications so you don't miss anything. #nevertheless #furortv #aymeroman #anticapitalists #leftist #lawfare #venezuela #politics #currentaffairs #news #spanishpolitics
