1. Party-movements, network
parties and citizen overflows

2. 15M: reshaping public space
“The occupation of the squares transformed the cities into an open interfaz”
Alberto Corsín & Adolfo Estalella

3. From 'Take the square' to 'Take the neighbourhoods'
The end of Acampada Sol in Madrid (june 2011) openned a descentralized “occupy
everyhing” movement. Participants mixed digital tools and local assemblies to organize
themselves.

4. Self organized urban spaces
15M movement made self organized spaces grow. In some cases, as in Campo de
Cebada (Madrid), with institucional dialogue.

5. From Propongo (15M-Indignados to Plaza Podemos), the hybrid participatory method
of the occupied squares is getting sofisticated. Loomio, from Occupy Wellington, is
broadly used, even by governments.
From grassroots participation to power

6. Political parties network (competitive)
Lack of interacctions between different communities
(different parties).
Most of central actors are the recognized leaders.
Global Revolt Networks (collaboratives):
Interactions between different communities (ideological,
geographical…)
 Central actors are, in general, collective identities.
Change of paradigm

(Brazilian labour party), PSDB (right wing
Brazilian party), Anonymous and Passe Livre
Movement (MPL). A study made by LABIC
proved the endogamy of political parties in Brazil.

Political parties endogamy

9. Network party era

10. The birth of Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) in Brazil, in 1980, showed a way from
movements to become a party. Boaventura de Sousa Santos spoke again about
party Movement when he quotes PODEMOS. Raíz Movimento Cidadanista (Brasil)
or MORENA and Wikipolítica (México) are trying to be that. Picture: Assembly in Belo
Horizonte, Brazil
Party movements

11. Different cities conformed citizen fronts for taking power. Enred.cc (Madrid) was the
first step. La apuesta municipalista (copyleft book) was the virus. GUANYEM
Barcelona created the imaginary and GANEMOS (we win) was the national
shout/shape. After that, the names changed but the 'confluence' format was the trend.
Political party PODEMOS supported the 'confluence' fronts.
From #15M to Spanish confluences

14. PODEMOS did not have own candidates for local elections. The candidatures were a
negotiation among Ganemos and PODEMOS, with many other actors. Graphic:

Podemos vs 'Confluences'

15. Most of the campaigns were made almost without budget (crowd funding,
donations). Especially important was the citizen campaign made for supporting
AhoraMadrid (with Manuela Carmena as the candidate), that happened out
of the Ahora Madrid ' s structure.
Citizen overflow: p2p & DIWO campaigns

16. During Madrid 's local campaign, there were two huge emotional and independent
explosions: #MadrirconManuela (creative hub supporting Manuela Carmena) and
#SomosManuela. Without them, #AhoraMadrid would barely had won the elections.

23. Madrid 's City Hall, inspired by 15M, propongo and distributed squares, created a direct democracy
platform for the city: decide.madrid.es
Decide Madrid: from the squares
to direct democracy

24. Madrid 's City Hall Participation Area has just launched the Collective Inteligence for Democracy
Lab settled in Media Lab Prado. The three groups (digital tools, social innovation and open data)
will focuss on improving participation and direct democracy.
