En Marea

En Marea (translated in English as "En Masse") is a political party and former political alliance integrated by Podemos, Anova, United Left of Galicia, and some municipal alliances that participated in the 2015 Spanish local elections (Marea Atlántica, Compostela Aberta and Ferrol en Común).[7] It was formed in November 2015 as an electoral coalition to contest the 2015 Spanish general election in Galicia.[8] As part of the coalition agreement with Podemos, the name on the ballot paper for both the 2015 and 2016 general elections was Podemos–En Marea–Anova–EU.[9][10] In July 2016, the coalition members signed a manifesto to constitute itself as a political party ahead of the 2016 Galician regional election, officially registering as such on 10 August 2016.[11][12]

History

In late 2018, a crisis concerning the election of a new party leadership resulted in a split between party members supporting Luís Villares and the founding members, Podemos, Anova and EU. Villares was elected as new party leader on 24 December 2018 amid accusations of fraud and vote rigging,[13][14] prompting Podemos, Anova and EU to withdraw from En Marea, dubbing it as a "failed" political project and hinting at the creation of a new and separate alliance.[15][16][17][18]
