Unidas Podemos (Spanish: [uˈniðas poˈðemos]), formerly called Unidos Podemos[2] (Spanish: [uˈniðos poˈðemos]) and also known in English as United We Can, was a democratic socialist[3] electoral alliance formed by Podemos, United Left, and other left-wing[4][5] to far-left parties[6][7][8] in May to contest the 2016 Spanish general election. The alliance's official pre-agreement was announced on 9 May 2016 after weeks of negotiations. It was re-styled to the feminine form of its name ahead of the April 2019 Spanish general election.[9][10]

Part of the anti-austerity[11] and anti-globalization movements,[12] it advocates direct democracy,[12] federalism,[13] and republicanism in Spain.[1] After the November 2019 Spanish general election, it formed a coalition government with the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party.[14][15][16]
