15M: reshaping public space
The occupation of the squares transformed the cities into an
open interfaz
Alberto Corsn & Adolfo Estalella
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.
Self organized urban spaces
15M movement made self organized spaces grow. In some cases, as
in Campo de Cebada (Madrid), with institucional dialogue.
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
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
This slide and the next one were made by 15MData project

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
Wikipartido (Mexico), Partido de la Red (Argentina) or Partido X
(Spain), among others, configurate the second wave of web based
parties. The difference from the first wave (Pirate Party, Demoex,
Lista Partecipata) is their open program. Besides, they aim to
create a method: platforms, protocols and tools that can be
employed by others.
Network party era
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. Raz
Movimento Cidadanista (Brasil) or MORENA and Wikipoltica (Mxico)
are trying to be that. Picture: Assembly in Belo Horizonte,
Brazil
Party movements
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

Organizacin
PODEMOS did not have own candidates for local elections. The
candidatures were a negotiation among Ganemos and PODEMOS, with
many other actors. Graphic: Ahora Madrid 's map, ruling nowadays in
Madrid
Podemos vs 'Confluences'
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
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.

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