Abstract

In this interview Carolina Bescansa (1973) gives us a glimpse of her intellectual and political biography, which has witnessed two cycles of mobilization, and has analyzed them both as a student and a Political Science Lecturer (UCM). By retracting  the origins of Podemos’ founding group, she provides essential elements for a critical analysis of our recent historical dynamic as well as the pursuit  of an ambitious transformational project of great  political importance based on social capital.
