In 2014 a new progressive party, Podemos, emerged on the Spanish
political scene. Within just over two years it had become the
country's third-biggest party, winning a slew of seats in
parliament and regularly making headline news. While some see
Podemos as the saviour of Spanish democracy, others have accused it
of corrosive populism. But what few have noticed is that behind its
distinctive rhetoric lies a thinker closely associated with
Germany's Third Reich: Carl Schmitt. Why has an ostensibly
progressive and avowedly anti-fascist political party taken up
Schmitt's ideas? The puzzle only deepens when we learn of Schmitt's
links with Francisco Franco's dictatorship. In The Dark Side of
Podemos?, Booth and Baert explain why Schmittian theory resonated
with Podemos' founders. In doing so, the authors position Podemos
and the ideas that guide it within the context of recent Spanish
history and ongoing politics of memory, revealing a story about how
personal and political narratives have combined to produce a
formidable political force. This enlightening monograph will appeal
to undergraduates and postgraduates, as well as postdoctoral
researchers, interested in fields such as Politics, Political
Theory and Sociology. It will also be relevant to those curious
about contemporary Spanish politics, the nature of populism, the
future of the European left, or Carl Schmitt and his links with
Spain.
