ABSTRACTPodemos’ initial left populist strategy and electoral success have been the subject of much academic debate. However, amid the party’s rapidly declining numbers at the polls, scholarly attention towards the Spanish party has been on the wane. Based on a discussion of the existing literature and a mixture of qualitative methods, this paper attempts to capture the distinctive features of the early populist gamble and two internal elements that progressively short-circuited it. The first is related to the cultural elitism of Podemos’ leadership, a phenomenon observed especially within the faction of Íñigo Errejón, former number 2 of the party. The intellectualist distinction of many of its members proved to be a repressive instance that jeopardised the populist practice. The second is instead the return to a radical left fold, which is instead to be attributed to Podemos’ former leader Pablo Iglesias and his successor Ione Belarra. Party factionalism, strong leftist symbolism and the promotion of identity politics stand here among the most visible factors that negated the initial transversal approach. In different ways, those elements re-established the previous symbolic space that Podemos’ populism had been trying to supersede and sabotage the possibility of securing a broad and durable popular identity.KEYWORDS: Podemospopulismradical leftcultural elitismpolitical strategy Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

【摘要】“我们可以”最初的左翼民粹主义策略和选举的成功一直是学术界争论的主题。然而，随着该党在民意调查中的支持率迅速下降，学术界对这个西班牙政党的关注一直在减弱。基于对现有文献的讨论和定性方法的混合，本文试图捕捉早期民粹主义赌博的独特特征和两个逐渐使其短路的内部因素。第一个问题与“我们可以”党领导层的文化精英主义有关，这一现象在该党前二号人物Íñigo Errejón派系中尤为明显。其许多成员的知识分子特征被证明是一种压迫，危及了民粹主义的实践。第二个是回归激进的左翼阵营，而这要归咎于“我们可以”党的前领导人巴勃罗·伊格莱西亚斯及其继任者伊奥内·贝拉拉。党派之争、强烈的左派象征主义和身份政治的推广是否定最初的横向方法的最明显因素。这些元素以不同的方式重新建立了“我们可以”的民粹主义一直试图取代的象征空间，并破坏了获得广泛而持久的大众认同的可能性。关键词:podemodemopopul粹主义激进左翼文化精英主义政治策略披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。由于Twitter内部的限制，对tweets的搜索无法获得完整的tweets历史记录，因此无法生成具有代表性的样本(参见:Álvarez-Peralta, rojas - andr， and Diefenbacher citation20233,14 - 15)。西班牙语中的“compañero”与英语中的“同志”类似，但政治含义更温和，也可用作“fellow”。它经常在激进的左翼圈子中使用。

ABSTRACTWhile the literature has widely explored the organisational strategies of populist radical right parties (PRRPs) on the fringes, little is known about the grassroots activism of mainstream PRRPs. We focus on the Italian League and the Swiss People’s Party (SVP), two mainstream PRRPs that have a long pedigree of government experience, to investigate if, how and why they invest in extensive activities at the local level to reach the public, despite their pivotal position in the national political scene. Methodologically, we rely on 120 interviews with members and representatives of these two PRRPs to identify the key grassroots activities they carry out at the local level and their perceived goals. The analysis reveals that despite their mainstream status, both the League and SVP still perceive to suffer from stigmatisation and demonisation, as they are not fully accepted as legitimate actors by the public. For this reason, they engage in grassroots activities and activism at the local level, the one closest to the everyday life and concerns of ordinary citizens. Grassroots activism aims to improve the legitimacy of PRRPs, by delivering the idea that their members and activists are normal people committed to help the local communities and not extremists.KEYWORDS: Populist radical rightgrassroots activismparty organisationstigmatisationlocal politics Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Supplementary materialSupplemental data for this article can be accessed online at https://doi.org/10.1080/14782804.2023.2269383Notes1.

ABSTRACTFrom a bottom-up perspective, cleavage theory links the socio-economic trends existing in the political community with the shape acquired by party politics. Globalization and European integration impacted European society, creating novel socio-economic divides and bringing new social, cultural and economic issues into the political discussion. The impact of the novel cleavage over the pre-existent societal socio-political fractures acquires a central role in the study of European Union politicization. Deploying critical discourse analysis (CDA) and discourse-historical approach (DHA), this study aims to comprehend how the emergence of a novel cleavage has influenced the discourse of the mainstream European parties. The manifestos of the European Christian democratic, socialist and liberal parties from the last three European Parliament elections are analyzed to assess the contemporary relevance of the left-right political competition in a scenario characterized by the salience gained by transnational issues and the electoral success of populist elites.KEYWORDS: European party politicscritical discourse analysisdemocratic legitimacyEuropean integrationsocio-political studiestransnational democracy Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTThere is a notable correlation between Eurosceptic and populist political actors, discourses and agendas across Europe. Since 2015, the ongoing conflict between Poland and the European Commission concerning the rule of law has brought European integration to the centre of Polish politics. The main focus of this article is on the relationship and interaction between populism and Euroscepticism, as analysed through the example of Polish political parties. To this end, the article investigates the different forms of EU contestation by Polish populist right-wing parties and assesses the extent to which these are expressed through populist discourse. We find a strong correlation between populist and Eurosceptic attitudes of Polish political parties. With the growing number of populist parties entering the mainstream and ‘uncivil society’ actors transforming into political parties, the anti-elitist discourse generates a need to locate the ‘corrupted elites’ outside of the national power structures.KEYWORDS: PopulismEuroscepticismpolitical partiesPolanduncivil society Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.
