El ajuste de cuentas de Pablo Iglesias: regreso al pasado desde la antipolítica y el antiperiodismo

Key Figures and Arguments

Pablo Iglesias's new book, "Enemigos íntimos," is an account of his past and a political positioning for the future of Podemos. It features accounts of various figures in Spanish politics, including Victoria Prego, whom Iglesias critiques for her role in the press, and leaders of the Spanish right (Aznar, Ayuso, Feijóo, Rajoy), whom he describes as an "oligarchic" right.

• Iglesias's portrayal of himself: The book presents multiple facets of Iglesias: the affable conversationalist, the sharp and vehement politician, the ambitious university professor, and the self-aware pedant.
• Critique of the media: Iglesias maintains his belief that Podemos was the victim of a media, political, and judicial witch hunt.
• Vision for the future: The book serves as a platform for Iglesias's political views and promotes the vision of Irene Montero as the future leader of Podemos.
• Analysis of Spanish politics: Iglesias comments on figures like King Felipe VI, Felipe González, Carmen Calvo, and Pedro Sánchez, criticizing their roles within the political landscape.

Summary of Key Points

The book is a blend of personal anecdotes and political commentary from a radical left perspective. It depicts Iglesias's happiness after leaving government and his perception of Spanish politics shifting rightward. The book doesn't mention his ties to Venezuela. Iglesias's book can be seen as an attempt to relaunch Podemos' future leadership under Irene Montero.
